How to multilply fractions?

Multiply the numerators together then multiply the denominators. Reduce as needed.


Why cant you add the numerators in a fraction problem?

You can, but unless the denominators are the same, you won't get the right answer.


When you cross multiply is possible to multiply the 2 numerators?

No, when you cross multiply, you multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction. For example, in the equation (\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}), cross-multiplying involves calculating (a \times d) and (b \times c), not multiplying the two numerators directly. This method is used to eliminate the fractions and solve for a variable.


Why cant you compare the denominator but you can compare the numerator?

You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.You can compare the denominators.If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the bigger denominator has the smaller value.


Do you mulitiply the denominators?

First, multiply the numerators and write the product of the numerators above a fraction bar. Next, multiply the denominators and write that product underneath the fraction bar. You don't have to find a common denominator. You do, however, have to reduce your answer to simplest terms.

How do you add and subtract by fractions?

If the fractions have the same denominator, add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible. If the fractions have different denominators, find the LCM of the denominators and convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with like denominators. Then add and subtract the numerators as if the denominators weren't there and put the result over that denominator. Reduce if possible.


To divide a fractionby another fraction do you simply divide the numerators and then dividethe denominators?

No because you turn the other fraction upside down and then cross multiply.
