When multiplying use fraction notification we form products in the numerator and the denominator but do not immediatily calculate the product?
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

Can 11 and 1 eighth be written as a proper fraction?
A fraction is made up of two parts: a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). There are 3 types of fractions: Proper, Improper, Mixed. A proper fraction is one where the numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is one where the numerator is larger or equal to the denominator. A mixed fraction is one with a whole number and a proper fraction together. 11 1/8 is a mixed fraction, and can be written as the improper fraction 89/8. It is impossible to write it as a proper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator. Also, all mixed fractions are improper fractions and no improper fractions can be written as proper fractions.
What is called if a fraction whose numerator and denominator can both be divided by 1?
irreducible fraction An irreducible fraction (or fraction in lowest terms, simplest form or reduced fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are integers that have no other common divisors than 1 (and −1, when negative numbers are considered).
What is the fraction has a fraction in the numerator the denominator or both?
A fraction that has a fraction in either the numerator, denominator, or both is called a complex fraction. Complex fractions can be simplified by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the least common multiple of all the denominators present. This process helps to eliminate the fractions within the complex fraction, resulting in a simpler form.
How do you use rectangular models for multiplying fractions?
Draw as many rectangles as the whole number you are multiplying by. Then, draw the fraction you are multiplying by in all of the rectangles. Shade in the top number in the fraction [numerator] in your rectangles. Count all the shaded in parts of all your rectangles. Leave the bottom number of your fraction [denominator] the same and put the number you got when you added the shaded parts of the rectangles on top as your denominator of the fraction. That is your answer!
