Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply the fractions, like
[tex] \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{9} [/tex]
Multiply the top,
then multiply the bottom.
[tex] \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1 \times 1}{4 \times 9} = \frac{1}{36} [/tex]
Try to use a calculator if you aren't arithmetic heavy, but I suggest you to try to remember them because they are going to be helpful for courses like Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, etc.
To divide fractions, like
[tex] \frac{ \frac{1}{5} }{ \frac{1}{8} } [/tex]
You take the top number,
[tex] \frac{1}{5} [/tex]
Then you flip the bottom number,
[tex] \frac{8}{1} [/tex]
Then multiply the two
[tex] \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{8}{5} [/tex]
And that is your answer. Comment if you need more clarification
