A general rule for multiplying fractions: You shall not multiply the denominator by the whole number,only the numerator.Another rule is you shall make the whole number as a fraction by putting the whole number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator before multiplying it.
The rule for multiplying by 1 is, everything multiplied by 1 is the answer.For example, 2multiplied by 1 is 2.
To multiply fractions you multiply both numerators (the top numbers) and both denominators (the bottom numbers) to get your answer. For example: 1/4 x 2/3 = (1 x 2) / (4 x 3) = 2/12 (or 1/6)
Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together. Simplify if possible. 3/4 x 6/7 = 18/28 = 9/14
Do you know how to multiply fractions if the denominators are different ?Multiply the numerators to get the numerator and multiply denominatorsto get the denominator ? Is that right ?Well, that rule doesn't actually say anything about whether the denominatorsare the same or different, does it.That's because it doesn't matter. The rule is good either way.
