Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together. Then reduce if necessary.
[tex] \dfrac{first~numerator}{first~denominator} \times \dfrac{second~numerator}{second~denominator} = \dfrac{(first~numerator)\times(second~numerator)}{(first~denominator)\times(second~denominator)} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a \times c}{b \times d} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 2} = \dfrac{5}{12}[/tex]
