Multiplying Fractions

Published on

Multiplying fractions is just like multiplying any other numbers, but with a few special rules to remember.

When you multiply fractions, you multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together, and then simplify the answer if possible.

For example, let's say you have the fractions 1/2 and 1/4 and you want to multiply them together.

Here's how to do it:

1/2 x 1/4 = (1 x 1) / (2 x 4) = 1 / 8

So, the answer is 1/8, which means you have 1 out of 8 equal parts of the pizza.

It's important to remember that when you multiply fractions, you're finding the product of the parts, so the answer will often be a smaller fraction than either of the original fractions. With a little practice, you'll be multiplying fractions like a pro!
