Multiply Fractions Aa5E6F
1. **State the problem:** Multiply the expressions $$\frac{x}{x+3} \cdot \frac{x+3}{4}$$.
2. **Recall the multiplication rule for fractions:** When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
$$\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}$$
3. **Apply the rule:**
$$\frac{x}{x+3} \cdot \frac{x+3}{4} = \frac{x \cdot (x+3)}{(x+3) \cdot 4}$$
4. **Simplify by canceling common factors:** The term $$x+3$$ appears in both numerator and denominator, so it cancels out (assuming $$x \neq -3$$ to avoid division by zero):
$$\frac{x \cdot \cancel{(x+3)}}{\cancel{(x+3)} \cdot 4} = \frac{x}{4}$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{x}{4}}$$
This corresponds to option A.
