What is the result of multiplying two fractions, such as 1/3 and 3/4?

$$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1 \times 3}{3 \times 4} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$$ .

What is the importance of finding a common denominator when adding fractions?

Finding a common denominator is important because it allows you to combine fractions by ensuring they are expressed in terms of the same whole.
