• You just multiply the numerator times the numerator
• get the answer, that will be your answer for the numerator of your fraction
• multiply the denominator times the denominator
• get the answer , that will be your answer for the denominator of your fraction
• simplify or reduce if needed

Here's another one:

We must check to see if we can reduce the answer before we decide we’re finished
Can both numbers be divided by 2? NO
Can both numbers be divided by 3? NO
Can both number be divided by 4? NO
Can both numbers be divided by 5? NO
Can both numbers be divided y 10? NO
Can 45 be divided by 8 NO
SO it is already at its simplest form. SO this is our final answer

Here’s how to divide fractions.
Actually there really is no such thing as dividing so you have to do a trick called Keep Flip Change (KFC)

2/3 ÷ 1/3 =
Keep 2/3 the same
Flip ÷ to x
Change 1/3 to 3/1
Now Multiply

2/3 x 3/1 = 6/3

We have not discussed improper fractions yet (when the numerator is bigger than the denominator so
for our purposes this would be your final answer.
