fraction multiplication

the rule for multiplying fractions  a/b X c/d = ac/bd for example we using this rule to compute 2/3 X 1/4 . by multiplying the numerators 2 and 1 and the denominators 3 and 4 we obtain 2/12
now by another solution if we imagine two thirds of a quarter
we divided a quarter into 3 equal parts then whole one contain 12 equal parts then two thirds of a quarter = 2/12
