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
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.
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
No, you cannot use models to multiply fractions!!
No.1/8 * 1/41 * 1 and 8 * 4= 1/32=======multiply straight across; numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator
You divide fractions and multiply them
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

In 6th Grade, you learn how to Multiply and Divide Fractions and Decimals. And learn square roots, the Powers of Ten.

multiply and divide 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
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

2/3,3/8Find the LCD. The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24. Multiply the fractions by whatever it takes to make 24.2/3 x 8/8 = 16/243/8 x 3/3 = 9/24
