Multiply or divide top and bottom of the fraction by the same non-zero number. For example, if you have the fraction 2/3, you can multiply both numbers by 2, to get 4/6, which is an equivalent fraction to 2/3. Similarly, if you have the fraction 4/6, you can divide top and bottom by 2, to get the simpler fraction 2/3.
Identity property of Multiplication c:
If 7/15 is the simplest form, equivalent fractions will be greater. To make things greater, use multiplication.
In what situtation can you use only multiplication to find equivalent fraction? Give an example
When the fraction is in simplest terms.
yes multiplication can help with division because if you find the answer to a multiplication problem use the answer to get the divison.Exanple:32divided by4=8=8x4=32

Multiplication and division.
It is not just in fractions. In general, division can be defined as multiplication by the reciprocal. For example, dividing by 5 is the same as multiplying by 0.2. However, it is mainly in calculations with fractions that this is normally used as a practical way of doing the calculations.
no. you can multiply straight across in fraction multiplication
you can use multiplication facts to find division facts by dividing your divisor and your quotient to find your answer.
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
