How is multiplying mixed numbers different than multiplying fractions?

if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply


How is the multiplying mixed numbers different from multiplying fractions?

Multiplying mixed numbers involves first converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions, while multiplying fractions directly uses the fractions in their given form. After conversion, the process for both is the same: multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The final step when dealing with mixed numbers includes converting the improper fraction back to a mixed number if needed. This added step distinguishes the two processes.


Is it true that when you multiply two natural numbers the product is never less than either of the two numbers?

Yes. Natural numbers are counting numbers, equal to or greater than 0. The only ways a product can be less than its multiplicands is when multiplying fractions by fractions or multiplying a positive number by a negative number.


How is multiplying fractions different from adding fractions?

When multiplying fractions, the numerators (top numbers) are multiplied together and put as the numerator over the denominators (bottom numbers) multiplied together.When adding fractions, they must both have the same denominator - the fractions are made into equivalent fractions with a common denominator; then the numerators are added together and put over the same common denominator.In both cases of multiplication and addition, the resulting fractions are reduced to simplest form.


How do you sum two fractions?

Make the demoninators (bottom numbers) the same by multiplying the top and bottom of one (or both) fractions, then add them as you would with integers.
