 --- X ---  =  --- = ---         or ---   X   ---  =    ---- =  2 2/3

To multiply two fractions:
Step 1. Multiply the numerators to get the numerator of the product.

Step 2. Multiply the denominators to get the demonimator of the product.

or
   3         1                  3      11            1      3
2 ---  X  1 ---  =           2 --- =  ----  and   1 --- =  ---
   4         2                  4       4            2      2
therefore:

   11     3     33
  ---- X --- = ---   reduce to  4 1/8  (divide 33/8)
    4     2      8
