How do you multiply fractions by itself?
that is called squaring. write the fraction twice and multiply numerators and denominators. 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/9
What happens to the denominator when you add fractions?
You must find a common denominator. You figure out the smallest number that all of your denominators are divisible by. If you have to multiply the denominators by 2, you must multiply the numerators by 2, then add the numerators together, and write above the common denominator. If you have to multiply one denominator to equal the other denominator, then you must multiply the numerator above that denominator, and finally add up the numerators and place above the common denominator. Then reduce the answer to its smallest fraction.
What are the rules for multiplying fractions?
When multiplying 2 fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together.
How do you multiply a fraction with a unlike denaminator?
Actually you don't need to have a same denominator to multiply fractions. Just simply multiply across the numerators and the denominators. For example: 1/3 x 2/5= 1x2/3x5=2/15.
How do you multiply three fractions with different denominator?
Multiply all the numerators together and then multiply all the denominators together. Simplify the product if need be as for example: 3/5*2/3*1/2 = 6/30 = 1/5
