Lesson 1 - Multiplication and Division of Fraction Multiplication I.

While No by fraction & vice Versa *Multiply the whole no by the Numerator of the fraction and Retain the denominator. a x b or b x a = a x b c c c Evaluate: a. 2 x 2 b. 1 x 4 7 10 Soln. a. 2 x 2 = 2x2 = 4 7 7 7 b. . 1 x 4 = 1x4 = 4 = 2 10 10 10 5 Or 1 x 4 = 2 10 5 II. Multiplying fraction by A fraction *multiply both the numerators & The denominator respectively. a xc =axc b d bxd Evaluate: x 7 = 3x7 = 21 = 7 9 4x9 36 12 Or x7 =7 9 9 III. Multiplying mixed nos. *convert the mixed no. to improper Fractions. Evaluate: 3 x 3 5 8 9 = 3 x 32 = 4 = 1 1 8 9 3 3 IV. Multiplying 3 fractions Solve 2 2 x 1 1 x 1 3 5 6 7 Soln: =22x11x13 5 6 7 = 12 x 7 x 10 5 6 7

Division I. divide fraction by a whole no. * change the sign into x sign and write the divisor as its reciprocal a c =ax1 b b c Ex. Simplify: 2 3 5 = 2 3 = 2 x 1 = 2x1 = 2 5 5 3 5x3 15 II. Dividing a whole no. or a fraction by a fraction. Change the sign to x sign and write the divisor as its reciprocal. a c =axd b d b c Ex. 8 = 8 x 2 = 16 1 b. 5 3 = 5 x 8 = 20 = 2 2 6 8 6 3 9 9 III. Dividing mixed numbers - convert the mixed no. into improper fraction. ex. a. 2 5 3 1 8 2 = 21 7 = 21 x 2 = 3 8 2 8 7 4 b. 2 5 2 9 3 = 23 2 = 23 x 3 = 23 = 5 1 9 3 9 2 6 6 IV. Dividing 3 fractions Simplify: 2 7 1 3 3 12 7 Soln. = 2 7 10 = 2 x 12 x 7 = 4 3 12 7 3 7 10 5 Word Problem: Suwat has 2 meters of wire. How many piece of 1/8 metrelong wire can h cut off from the wire?

= 12 x 7 x 10 5 6 7 =4

2 1/8 = 9 x 8 = 18 1 He can cut 18 pieces of 1/8 metre-long wire.

Word Problem: A bookshop sold 40 books in one day. Given that 7 of the books are storybooks which cost 45Baht each. 8 Find the total cost of the storybooks sold in that day. = 7 x 40 x 45 = 1575Baht the tot. 8 Sold books for that day.
