What is the result of multiplying the fractions 1/2 and 1/3?

The correct answer is: 1/6

To find the result of multiplying the fractions 1/2 and 1/3, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So, the multiplication works as follows: 1. Multiply the numerators: 1 (from 1/2) multiplied by 1 (from 1/3) equals 1. 2. Multiply the denominators: 2 (from 1/2) multiplied by 3 (from 1/3) equals 6. Putting these together, you get a new fraction: 1/6. This means when you multiply 1/2 by 1/3, the outcome is indeed 1/6, which correctly corresponds to the provided answer. The other options do not represent the product of these two fractions based on the multiplication method, distinguishing why they are not correct answers.
