1. First you need your problem. For this we will use 3/4 x 5.

2. To make it easier and to keep it the same, change the 5 to 5/1. Then you will have 3/4 x 5/1.

3. Now, it is O.K to multiply the denominators for this because the denominator will be 4. So go ahead and do that.

Then multiply the numerators, which will be 3 x 5.

The answer, if you did it right, should be 15/4.
