b. \( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{7}= \)

To multiply the fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and then the denominators together. So, \( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 7} = \frac{2}{14} \). This can be simplified further to \( \frac{1}{7} \). Voila! Now, if you find fractions confusing, don’t fret! Mixing up the numerators and denominators is a common mistake. Remember, always multiply straight across and then simplify! When in doubt, visually representing fractions with pie diagrams can make it a whole lot clearer!
