Answer 3

Multiplying fractions is actually quite easy - not like adding or subtracting fractions where you need a common denominator. All you have to do is multiply the two numerators (tops) and the two denominators (bottom), and you can form your new fraction!

Lets begin with the two numbers we want to multiply:

5/6, and 36

To make multiplying easier, write 36 as 36/1

So,

5/6 x 36/1

5x36 = 180

6x1 = 6

So your answer is

180/6

Which can be simplified to 30

Answer 4

5/6 times 36 = 30
