Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
When multiplying and dividing fractions, write whole/mixed numbers as improper fractions.
Example:
5 4 20 (multiply the numerators together)
_ x _ = _
7 9 63 ( multiply the denominators together)
For division, turn the second fraction upside down (taking the reciprocal) and multiply the
fractions together.
Example:
3 1/2 divided by 4/5
=7/2 divided by 4/5
=7/2 x 5/4
= 35/8
=2 3/8
