Lesson 3 : Multiplication of Fractions

A. Fraction by fraction
Steps :
1. Multiply the numerators.
2. Multiply the denominators.
3. Simplify the product.

Example
2 1 2 1
x
3 4
= 2 x 1 = 2 and 3 x 4 = 12 12
÷ 2= 6

B. Mixed number by fraction

Steps :
1. Express the mixed number as an improper fraction.
2. Simplify the fractions if necessary.
3. Express the product in simplest form.

C. Mixed number by whole number

Steps:
1. Express all given numbers as fractions.
2. Find the product.
3. Simplify the product.
Example

2
x2
3 2 6
2 x 1 = 2 =3

 Cancelling the common factors of the numerator and denominator makes multiplying
easier.
