Rewrite fractions for multiplication: Rewrite the multiplication of the two fractions. The expression 4p9p2×13n can be written as (4p9p2)×(113n) to make it clear that we are multiplying two fractions.
Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The numerator of the first fraction is 9p2 and the numerator of the second fraction is 13n, so their product is 9p2×13n. The denominator of the first fraction is 4p and the denominator of the second fraction is 1, so their product is 4p×1.
Calculate products: Calculate the products. Multiplying the numerators, we get 9p2×13n=117np2. Multiplying the denominators, we get 4p×1=4p.
Combine products into new fraction: Combine the products to form a new fraction. The new fraction is 4p117np2.
Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction by canceling common factors. The term p appears in both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel one p from the numerator and one p from the denominator. This gives us 4117n.
