MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF FRACTION

STEPS TO MULTIPLY FRACTIONS:
1. Multiply the numerators of the fractions (the top numbers).
2. Multiply the denominators of the fractions (the bottom numbers).
3. Simplify the fraction if needed to the lowest terms.
For example: 1. 3/7 × 4/5

= (3 × 4)/(7 × 5)
= 12/35
2. 7/3 × 5/2
= (7 × 5)/ (3 × 2)
= 35/6
3. 5 × 3/7
= 5/1 × 3/7
= (5 × 3)/ (1 × 7)
= 15/7
4. 5/12 × 9
= 5/12 × 9/1
= (5 × 9)/ (12 × 1)
= (5 × 3)/ (4 × 1)
= 15/4
MULTIPLICATION OF FRACTION
Sometimes for indicating multiplication of two fractions, we use the word ‘of ‘as
follows:
(1) 1/2 of 8 (3) 2/5 of 25
= 1/2 × 8 = 2/5 × 25
= 1/2 × 8/1 = 2/5 × 25/1
= (1 × 8)/(2 × 1) = (2 × 25)/(5 × 1)
= 8/2 = 50/5
=4 = 10
(2) 1/5 of 20 (4) 2/3 of 5/7
= 1/5 × 20 = 2/3 × 5/7
= 1/5 × 20/1
= (2 ×5)/(3 × 7)
= 20/5
= 10/21.
=4
DIVISION OF FRACTION
There’s a shortcut you can use that makes dividing fractions much simpler. You
can solve most division problems by following these three steps:
A. Flip the divisor into a reciprocal

B. Change the division sign to a multiplication symbol and multiply
C. Simplify your answer if possible
EXAMPLE 1:
Imagine the example equation as a cake. You’ve got half of the cake remaining. If
each serving of the cake is ⅙ of the whole, how many servings do you have left?
½ ÷ 1/6 =

Step 1: Flip the divisor into a reciprocal

A reciprocal is what you multiply a number by to get the value of one. If you want
to change two into one through multiplication you need to multiply it by 0.5. In
fraction form this looks like:
²⁄₁ × ½ = 1
To find the reciprocal of a fraction you simply flip the numbers. The denominator
becomes the numerator and vice versa.
Look at the example equation again:
½ ÷ ⅙ =?
The first step to solve the problem is to turn our divisor, ⅙, into a reciprocal.
⅙ → ⁶⁄₁
Step 2: Change the division sign to a multiplication symbol and multiply

Dividing and multiplying are opposites of each other. When you create a reciprocal
of a number, you’re creating its opposite as well. In a division problem, when you
turn the divisor into a reciprocal, you also need to change the equation from
division to multiplication.
Now that you’ve found the reciprocal of your divisor, you can change the equation
from division into multiplication.
½ ÷ ⅙ =? → ½ × ⁶⁄₁ = ?
We’ve got an extensive guide on how to multiply fractions, but here’s a quick
tutorial:
1. Multiply your numerators to get your new numerator

2. Multiply your denominators to get your new denominator
3. Simplify the final fraction, if possible
For the example equation you have two problems to solve:

1×6=6 2×1=2 ½ × ⁶⁄₁ = ⁶⁄₂
Now you’re ready to simplify to get the final answer!
Step 3: Simplify your answer if possible

Fractions symbolize a part of a whole. This means many fractions represent the
same value, so why not make the fraction as simple as possible?

For example, you almost never say five-tenths or ⁵⁄₁₀. Instead, you simplify that to
one-half or ½.
To get a fraction down to its simplest form, you divide the numerator and
denominator by their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor in ⁵⁄₁₀ is
five. Dividing both numbers down by five leaves you with ½.
EXAMPLE 2:
⅓ ÷ ⁶⁄₅ = ? → ⅓ × ⅚ = ⁵⁄₁₈
EXAMPLE 3: ⁷⁄₆ ÷ ¾ = ? →⁷⁄₆ × ⁴⁄₃ = ²⁸⁄₁₈ → ¹⁴⁄₉ → 1 ⁵⁄₉
Creating a reciprocal and multiplying an equation rather than dividing lets you skip
several steps in an equation. It’s a shortcut that will make your lives a whole lot
easier!
DIVIDING MIXED FRACTIONS
Change your mixed fraction into an improper fraction and then proceed with the
three-step strategy. To do this, multiply your whole number by the denominator.
Then take that value and add it to your numerator.
2 ½ changes to ⁵⁄₂.
Example 1:
3 ⅓ ÷ ⅖ = ? → ¹⁰⁄₃ ÷ ⅖ = ? → ¹⁰⁄₃ × ⁵⁄₂ = ⁵⁰⁄₆ → ²⁵⁄₃ → 8 ⅓
Example 2:
¼ ÷ 2 ⅙ = ? → ¼ ÷ ¹³⁄₆ = ? → ¼ × ⁶⁄₁₃ = ⁶⁄₅₂ → ³⁄₂₆
Example 3:
2 ½ ÷ 1 ⅓ = ? → ⁵⁄₂ ÷ ⁴⁄₃= ? → ⁵⁄₂ × ¾ = ¹⁵⁄₈ → 1 ⅞
Directions: Find the product / quotient of the following fractions:
1. 6 x 1/12 =
2. 3 ÷ 1/3 =
3. 2 7/8 x 1/2 =
4. 5 3/4 ÷ 1/4 =
5. 7/20 x 2/9 =
Directions: Match column A to column B:
6. 1/6 x __ = 3 A. 4
7. 5/3 x 3/2 = B.18
8. 2 4/5 x 10 = C.7/9
9. 2/3 ÷ 1/6 = D.5/2
10. 2 1/3 ÷ 3 = E.28
Directions: On this part, you will understand how to multiply fraction. And to
prepare yourself, try to answer the problem below.
1. 2 6 7 2
6. x
3 x 4 = 3 9 =
2. 4 12 = 7. 5 x 10 =

5. 20 x 4 = 10. 8 x 16 =

Directions: Use your answers to guide you to the end of the maze. Write your
answer in your answer sheet.
