We can find the number of pies by multiplying ²/₃ (part of the pie filled with strawberry filling) and ⁹/₁₀ . The phrase "as many" usually means you need to multiply. Step 1: Use this rule: ^a/_b × ^c/_d = ^ac/_bd to multiply fractions. 11ec0fda_98e1_93e0_a67f_41c0b5582a33_NR0004_00 Step 2: Simplify. 2 x 9 = 18 and 3 x 10 = 30. 11ec0fda_98e1_93e1_a67f_27b59e359c0e_NR0004_00 Step 3: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form. We can divide both the numerator (18) and the denominator (30) by 6. 11ec0fda_98e1_93e2_a67f_3ba68f97932e_NR0004_00
