Multiply Three Fractions: 2/3 × 3/4 × 4/5 Step-by-Step

Yes! This is actually faster. Notice the 3 in $\frac{2}{3}$ cancels with the 3 in $\frac{3}{4}$, and the 4 in $\frac{3}{4}$ cancels with the 4 in $\frac{4}{5}$. This leaves $\frac{2}{5}$ directly!

That's normal! Just simplify by finding the greatest common factor. For 24 and 60, the GCF is 12, so $\frac{24}{60} = \frac{24÷12}{60÷12} = \frac{2}{5}$.

With multiplication, order doesn't matter! You can multiply $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}$ first, then multiply by $\frac{4}{5}$, or do all three at once.

Always simplify your final answer! Look for common factors between the numerator and denominator. If both numbers can be divided by the same value, simplify to get the lowest terms.

Look for cancellation opportunities first! In $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}$, you can cancel the 3's and 4's immediately, leaving just $\frac{2}{5}$ without any big multiplication!
