Standard Procedure for Fractional Inventory Scaling

As a lead technician at a manufacturing plant, you are responsible for updating the 'Standard Operating Procedures' manual. One section requires a clear explanation of how to multiply two fractions, which is used whenever a technician needs to find a portion of a partial batch (for example, calculating 2/3 of 4/5 of a gallon). Write a brief essay describing the exact mathematical procedure for multiplying any two fractions. In your response, clearly state the rule for the numerators and denominators, explain whether a common denominator is required, and describe the necessary final step for the resulting product.
