What is 1/6 times 1/9?

• A. 1/72
• B. 1/54
• C. 1/9
• D. 1/108

Answer: (B)

Multiplying fractions means multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. For 1/6 times 1/9, the numerators multiply to 1 and the denominators multiply to 6×9 = 54. So the product is 1/54. This is the correct result because you’re combining both parts in the straightforward way: top times top over bottom times bottom. The other results would come from different denominator products or from missing a step, but they don’t match the actual product of 1/6 and 1/9.
