In general,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{w}{x}*\frac{y}{z}=\frac{w*y}{x*z} \\ x,z\ne0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, in our case, (Notice that since A/B and C/D are rational expressions, B and D cannot be equal to zero)

[tex]\frac{A}{B}*\frac{C}{D}=\frac{A*C}{B*D}[/tex]

Notice that the left side of each option includes the term

[tex]\frac{A}{B}*\frac{D}{C}[/tex]

However, we cannot assure that C is different than zero because it is only stated that C/D is rational.

Furthermore,

[tex]\frac{A}{B}*\frac{D}{C}=\frac{A*D}{B*C}[/tex]

And (A*D)/(B*C) is not included among the options.

Therefore, the answer has to be option D as it is the only one that correctly expresses the multiplication of two fractions.

Remember that there is a mistake in each option, the left side has to be A/B*D/C
