Question

1. Find each product. Write the product as a whole number or mixed number or fraction in simplest form. $$ \begin{array}{lll}	ext { a. } 3 	imes \frac{1}{7} & 	ext { b. } 2 	imes \frac{3}{12} & 	ext { c. } 6 	imes \frac{4}{8}\end{array} $$

**a. Evaluate $$3 \times \frac{1}{7}$$:**

- Multiply the whole number by the numerator:
  $$
  3 \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3 \times 1}{7} = \frac{3}{7}
  $$
- The fraction $$\frac{3}{7}$$ is already in simplest form.

**b. Evaluate $$2 \times \frac{3}{12}$$:**

- Multiply the whole number by the numerator:
  $$
  2 \times \frac{3}{12} = \frac{2 \times 3}{12} = \frac{6}{12}
  $$
- Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $$6$$:
  $$
  \frac{6 \div 6}{12 \div 6} = \frac{1}{2}
  $$

**c. Evaluate $$6 \times \frac{4}{8}$$:**

- Multiply the whole number by the numerator:
  $$
  6 \times \frac{4}{8} = \frac{6 \times 4}{8} = \frac{24}{8}
  $$
- Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $$8$$:
  $$
  \frac{24 \div 8}{8 \div 8} = \frac{3}{1} = 3
  $$

**Summary of Answers:**

- $$3 \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{7}$$
- $$2 \times \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$$
- $$6 \times \frac{4}{8} = 3$$
a. $$3 \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{7}$$ b. $$2 \times \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$$ c. $$6 \times \frac{4}{8} = 3$$
