To find the product of ( frac{2}{5} times frac{9}{7} ), follow these steps:
1. Multiply the numerators: ( 2 times 9 = 18 )
2. Multiply the denominators: ( 5 times 7 = 35 )
3. Combine the results: So, ( frac{2}{5} times frac{9}{7} = frac{18}{35} ).
The product will be less than 1 and a proper fraction because the numerator (18) is less than the denominator (35).
