To multiply fractions, multiply the tops together, multiply the bottoms together, then simplify if you can. Example: 2/3 times 3/4 is 6/12, which simplifies to 1/2. That's the whole method — no common denominators, no cross anything. Multiplying is the kindest fraction operation there is, and most people don't believe that until they try it.
