Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers

Because you asked for it... How to multiply fractions and mixed numbers:
  1. If there are mixed numbers, change them to improper fractions.
  2. (Optional) You can reduce the fractions on the diagonal if you want to.
  3. Multiply numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
  4. Simplify (reduce to lowest terms).
