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.

When you multiply fractions why do you multiply the fractions strait across?

This has the effect of producing a denominator in the answer that has each of the original denominators as factors. You don't have to worry about simplifying the fractions before multiplying. Of course, you may have to simplify after multiplying. There's no way out.


How do you put the following fractions from least to greatest when the denominators are different?

Multiply or divide both the numeraters and the denominators the same using GCF.Then look at the numeraters. Good luck!!!!!!!


How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?

If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.

How do you muliply a fraction?

In order to multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators with numerators and the denominators with denominators to get the product. If possible, reduce the product in its lowest terms. Example: 2/3 X 12/5 = (2 X 12) / (3 x 5) = 24/15 = 8/5.

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.
