Procedures (direct and Multiplying Simple Fractions.
concise):
There are 3 simple steps to multiply fractions
1. Multiply the top numbers (the numerators).
2. Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators).
3. Simplify the fraction if needed.

Example:

Activity 1: Multiply simple fractions. Simplify if needed.

 Multiplying Mixed Fractions.

Here are the steps for multiplying mixed fractions.

1. 1. Change each number to an improper fraction. Simplify if possible.
2. 2. Multiply the numerators.
3. 3. Multiply the denominators.
4. 4. Change the improper fraction back to a mixed number by dividing.
5. Put answer in lowest terms.

Example:

Here’s another example:

Activity 2: Find the product. Give the answer in its lowest term.

Multiplying Fractions Involving Mixed Fraction

Or A Whole Number
1. Before multiplying, always change the mixed fraction first into an
improper fraction by these steps:
a. Multiply the denominator and its whole number.
b. Add the product to its numerator. The answer will serve as the new
numerator.
c. Copy the original denominator and write it as the new denominator
of the new numerator.
2. Always bear in mind that the denominator of whole numbers is always
1.

Examples:
1.

Activity 3. Complete the wheel by multiplying the number in the

middle with the number found in the next layer of the wheel. One
of it is done for you.

Solving routine or non-routine problems involving multiplication

without or/with addition or subtraction of fractions and mixed
fractions using appropriate problem solving strategies and tools.

Read and Understand:

Mang Pablo and 4 of his friends went to his lanzones farm. He was happy
when he saw the trees with fruits ready to harvest. They were able to
pick 10 ½ baskets of lanzones. Each basket contained 8 2/3 kilograms.
Mang Pablo gave each of his friends 3 ½ kilograms for helping pick the
fruits and sold the rest. How many kilograms of lanzones were left?

Study the concept below:

What does the problem ask you to find?
How will you find the answer to the problem?

Solution to the problem:

Understand: Know what is asked in the problem.

Fraction of kilograms of lanzones left

Know the given facts = 10 ½ baskets. of lanzones picked by Mang Pablo

8 2/3 kg. of lanzones each basket contained
3 ½ kg. of lanzones were given to his friends
4 were the friends

Plan: Determine the operation to be used – Multiplication and

Subtraction

Solve: Show your solution

( 10 ½ x 8 2/3) – ( 3 ½ x 4 ) =
 ( 21/ 2 x 26/3) - (7/2 x 4/1) =
91 - 14 = 77 kg. of lanzones were left

Check and Look Back : Using diagram

10 ½ baskets of 8 2/3 kg. of gave 3 ½ to each of his

lanzones in 1 basket 4 friends

How did you solve the problem?

Understand the problem:

- We knew what the problem asked for
- We wrote down the given facts

Plan:
- We determine the operation used
- We thought of the solution to the problem

Solve:
- We multiply first to get the kilograms of lanzones picked each
basket contained and kilograms of lanzones given to friends
- We subtract kilograms of lanzones picked to the kilograms of
lanzones given

Activity 5. Read and solve

1. Jim lives 1 ¾ km from the school. Judy lives 1 4/5 km from school in
the same direction. How much farther is Judy’s round trip than Jim’s
round trip?
 2. Marietta bought 4 ½ m of dress material which cost P55.00 per meter.
She gave the seller a five hundred peso bill. How much change will she
receive?

3. Kim had 2 strips of bamboo measuring 3 ½ dm long each. He used 2 ¾

dm for picture frame and 2 ½ dm for kite frame. How many dm of
bamboo strips was left?

4. A lemon tree grows ¾ times as much as santan. If santan grows 2/3

cm in a month, what is the total length of the lemon tree and the santan?

5. Cecile can walk at the rate of 3 ½ per 1 1/4 hour a day. Cathy can walk
at the rate of 4 1/5 km per 1 ¼ hour a day. How far can Cecile and Cathy
walk if they will walk together at the same rate of time?
