How do you show multiplying fractions as a picure?

Answer 1

To visually represent multiplying fractions, you can use a rectangular grid. First, draw a rectangle and divide it into equal parts based on the denominator of the first fraction (for example, if multiplying 1/2 by 1/3, divide the rectangle into 2 equal vertical sections). Then, shade in the appropriate number of sections for the numerator of the first fraction and repeat this process for the second fraction by dividing the rectangle horizontally into equal parts based on its denominator and shading the corresponding sections. The overlapping shaded area represents the product of the two fractions.
