Multiplying Fractions worked examples $\frac{7}{11}\times\frac{11}{5}\times\frac{10}{14}$ $=\frac{7}{\cancel{11}}\times\frac{\cancel{11}}{5}\times\frac{10}{14}$ cancel the 11's $=\frac{7}{5}\times\frac{10}{14}$ this leaves us with just the 7 and 10 in the numerators (top) and 5 and 14 in the denominators (bottom) $=\frac{\cancel{7}1}{\cancel{5}1}\times\frac{\cancel{10}2}{\cancel{14}2}$ look at the 7 and 14: divide both by 7 so the 7 will cancel to [...]
