Calculate the following:

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \][/tex]

Select one:
a. [tex]\[ \frac{1}{3} \][/tex]
b. [tex]\[ \frac{1}{24} \][/tex]
c. [tex]\[ \frac{9}{12} \][/tex]
d. [tex]\[ \frac{1}{4} \][/tex]



Answer :

Let's carefully analyze and solve the given problem step by step.

We are asked to find the product of two fractions: [tex]\( \frac{1}{6} \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex].

When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.

Here, both fractions are:

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{6} \text{ and } \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]

Step 1: Multiply the numerators:

[tex]\( 1 \times 1 = 1 \)[/tex]

Step 2: Multiply the denominators:

[tex]\( 6 \times 2 = 12 \)[/tex]

Step 3: Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2 to form the new fraction:

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{12} \][/tex]

Thus, the product of [tex]\( \frac{1}{6} \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] is [tex]\( \frac{1}{12} \)[/tex].

Reviewing the options, the correct choice is not listed, but based on the calculations the answer should be [tex]\( \frac{1}{12} \)[/tex].
