One method of multiplying two mixed fractions is to convert them to improper fractions and then multiply the numerators to obtain the new numerator and multiply the denominators to obtain the new denominator. The new improper fraction then can be changed to a mixed fraction. For examples: 1 2/7 x 2 1/5 = 9/7 x 11/5 = 99/35 = 2 29/35. 7 1/2 x 3 1/4 = 15/2 x 13/4 = 195/8 = 24 3/8.

How do you times mixed fractions?

My strategy for multiplying mixed fractions: what you need to do is turn the mixed number into an improper fraction before you do any thing else. to do that you need to multiply the denominator with the whole number then add the numerator. now that number will be your numerator the denominator stays the same then you do the same to the other mixed fraction turn it into an improper fraction then once both are like that you multiply the numerators together to find the numerator then you multiply the denominators together to get the denominator then simplify your answer to get the right answer.

You would have to convert the mixed number into a fraction, or you could convert the fraction into a mixed number. The first one is easier in my opinion. For example: 2 3/4 is 11/4. Converting a fraction into a mixed number is just as easy but it is harder to multiply To multiply a mixed fraction by a fraction you will need to multiply the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) by the whole number then add the numerator (the top number of a fraction) and that will be your new numerator. Then multiply the two fractions (straight across). Finally put you final answer in simplest form if needed.
