What are the rules for multiplying fractions?
When multiplying 2 fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together.
When multiplying fractions do you multlply to the side or cross multiply?
Multiplying fractions is the easiest operation you can do with them. Nothing complicated is required, just multiply the top two and the bottom two. Simple as that!
How is multiplying two decimals different from multiplying one decimal by a whole 3?
There is no difference in the procedure.
Why are two fractions converted into like fractions?
Because you can't add or subtract fractions that have different denominators. Making them like fractions, by multiplying so the denominators are the same, you can add and/or subtract them.
What does cross multiplyng mean?
Cross-multiplying is when you have two fractions, and you multiply the numerator of each fraction by the other fractions's denominator. In other words, if you have two fractions a/b and c/d, cross-multiplying would be finding a*d and b*c. If a/b=c/d, then ad = bc.
