Reduce to simplest fraction & Multiply straight across:
4/2 x 9/17
= (2/1) x (9/17)
= (2*9) / (1*17)
= (18) / (17)
= 18/17

First multiply the numerators:
4 * 9 = 36
Then multiply the denominators:
2 * 17 = 34
Now, you have 36/34.
You can reduce this to
18/17 (I just divided both the numerator and denominator by 2 here).

Just remember this:
a/b times c/d = ac/(bd)
a/b divided by c/d = ad/(bc)
It's that simple.
