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

What do you do when you mutpiling fractions with common dennmonters?
Exactly the same as you do when multiplying fractions with different denominators. -- Multiply numerators . . . the product is the numeratore of the answer. -- Multiply denominators . . . the product is the denominator of the answer.
Can you multiply fractions that have a different demonminator?
Yes. When multiplying and dividing fractions your denominators do not have to be the same. The denominators only haveto be the same if you are subtracting or adding them.
What is disimiliar fraction?
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
What are Fractions that have different denominators?
unlike fractions
When multiplying fractions when they have same common denominator do you multiply the denominators?
YES.

How do you write fractions with common denominators?
multiply the denominators
How do you multiply fractions with uncommon denominators?
To multiply fractions all you do is multiply the numerators and the denominators separately eg: 4/7 x 6/11 = 24/77. The "commonality" of denominators has no relevance.
What is disimiliar fraction?
Dissimilar fractions have different denominators.
How do you multiply fractions with like denominators?
The numerator and denominator of a product of fractions are simply the products of the numerators and denominators respectively. That is, a/b * c/d = (a*c)/(b*d). The denominators can be the same or different - that is irrelevant.
What is a dissimilar fractions?
Dissimilar fractions are fractions that have different denominators.
Do you find common denominators when you multiply fractions?
No.
How you multiply fractions?
Best shown with an example. 2 2/3 X 4 1/5 #1 Convert to improper(top heavy) fractions. 8/3 X 21/5 #2 cancel down (reduce) were possible. In this case by '3' 8/1 X 7/5 #3 multiply the numerators(top) and multply the denomiaotor(bottom) and place the numerator over the denomiator 56/ 5 #4 Convert to a mixed fraction 11 1/5 The answer. !!! Hope that helps!!!!
What are the rules for subtracting fractions?
You multiply the fractions until the denominators are equal. Then, you subtract.
How do u subtract fractions?
multiply the fractions until they have common denominators and then subtract them
Fractions with unlike denominators and no common factors to have common denominators?
Multiply them by each other.
