Perform the operation and simplify the answer fully. 1/6 * 8/7
Answer options:
A) 1/7
B) 3/7
C) 3/4
D) 1/4
To perform the operation ( frac{1}{6} times frac{8}{7} ), you multiply the numerators and the denominators:
[
frac{1 times 8}{6 times 7} = frac{8}{42}
]
Next, simplify ( frac{8}{42} ) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 8 and 42, which is 2:
[
frac{8 div 2}{42 div 2} = frac{4}{21}
]
Since ( frac{4}{21} ) is not one of the answer options provided, we look for any miscalculations and find that simplifying ( frac{8}{42} ) gives us:
The answer is not present in the options given, please check the options again.

To perform the operation ( frac{1}{6} times frac{8}{7} ), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
1. Multiply the numerators: ( 1 times 8 = 8 ).
2. Multiply the denominators: ( 6 times 7 = 42 ).
So, ( frac{1}{6} times frac{8}{7} = frac{8}{42} ).
Next, simplify ( frac{8}{42} ) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 8 and 42, which is 2.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
– ( frac{8 div 2}{42 div 2} = frac{4}{21} ).
