How do you divide fractions in sixth grade?
When you divide fractions, you actually multiply them and use the reciprical. For example: 3/8 divided by 1/5 3/8 x 5/1 ------> 5/1 is the reciprical of 1/5 (you just flip them) so 3/8 x 5/1=15/8 which = 1 and 7/8 <------that is your answer
What is five equivalent fractions for seven eight's?
Multiply 7 and 8 by any number (the same number) to get equivalent fractions. If you multiply by one, however, you might be surprised by what you get.
How can you use models to multiply fractions?
No, you cannot use models to multiply fractions!!
How do you change the fractions to like fractions?
To convert unlike fractions to like fractions, it is necessary to find the LCM of the unlike denominators. This will give you the least common denominator. Example: 1/3 and 1/8. The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. To convert 3rds to 24ths, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 8. To convert 8ths to 24ths, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3. 1/3 + 1/8 = 8/24 + 3/24 = 11/24
When you multiply two fractions together do you cross multiply?
No.1/8 * 1/41 * 1 and 8 * 4= 1/32=======multiply straight across; numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator
What are things you do in 5th grade?
You divide fractions and multiply them
How you multiply fractions?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators by the numerators, and the denominators by the denominators, and then (if possible) simplify the resulting fraction. For example, 2/3 x 4/5 = 8/15
When do you learn fractions?
You started to see fractions in 2nd grade and do a little work with them. You use them a little in 3rd grade. In 4th and 5th you use them more. In 5th grade you learn how to add and subtracted fractions. In 6th grade you use them a lot because you learn how to divide and multiply fractions. In 7th grade you don't really see them, but in 8th grade they come back again, the same way they did in 6th grade. -I just got out of 8th grade so I would know

What does it mean to multiply and divide fractions?

How do multiply fractions?
To multiply fractions you first multiply the numerators (the top numbers)Example 5/9*8/10. So you would do 5*8=40You would then multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers)Example 5/9*8/10. So you would do 9*10=90.So your answer would be 5/9*8/10=40/90 or reduced to 4/9
How do you multiply fractions with different denominators?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For fractions a/b and c/d, the answer will be (a x c) / (b x d). Then simplify if possible. Numerical example : 2/5 x 3/8 = (2 x 3)/ (5 x 8) = 6/40 which equals 3/20
