Multiplying fractions



 Multiplying fractions rhyme.
♫ "Multiplying fractions: no big problem,
Top times top over bottom times bottom. "And don't forget to simplify,
Before it's time to say goodbye" ♫




How to multiply fractions:


Equipment you need:

Pencil

Brain

Book
Rubber


Step 1

  Firstly get two fractions to multiply.

example: 2/4 6/5


Step 2

Times both of the top numbers as known as numerator.
example: 2 X 6 = 12

                                                                   

    Step 3 
   Do the same to the dominator.
 Example: 4 X 5 = 20

 Step 4 
   Now you add the top one with the bottom one.
     Example: 12/20

  Step 5
   Then you simplify your fraction Eg:
4/8==>2/4==>1/2
(Four-Eighths)(Two-Quarters)(One-Half)

    Diagram
 


       Some fractions don't have to get simplify but some you can     I hope this helps.
