What is 9 over 5 times 5 over 9?
9/5 * 5/9 = 1, because 9*5 is 45 and 5*9 is 45, the problem becomes 45/45, which is 1. To multiply fractions: # Simplify the fractions if not in lowest terms. # Multiply the numerators of the fractions to get the new numerator. # Multiply the denominators of the fractions to get the new denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
How do you simplify expressions with variables?
You multiply out brackets, remove common factors from fractions, combine like terms.
1 over 12 times 4 over 9?
Multiply the numerators of both fractions. That's the numerator of the result.Also, multiply the denominator of both fractions. That's the denominator of the result. Simplify as appropriate. Actually, it helps to simplify before doing the actual multiplication.
What is the state rule for dividing fractions?
Take the 2nd fraction, switch the denominator with the numerator, multiply across, simplify.
How do you multiply fractions with different denominators?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For fractions a/b and c/d, the answer will be (a x c) / (b x d). Then simplify if possible. Numerical example : 2/5 x 3/8 = (2 x 3)/ (5 x 8) = 6/40 which equals 3/20
