im having a really hard time with fractions anyone wanna help me?

OpenStudy (michaelgramlick):

i am good with fractions try me

OpenStudy (blazerider2798):

im multiplying them 3/5 x 3/4

OpenStudy (michaelgramlick):

it is 0.45 but u try to convert it back to a fraction

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Hello! Welcome to OpenStudy! To multiply fractions, you simply multiply both numerators, the top numbers, and both denominators, the bottom numbers. Here's an example: \(\large\dfrac{2}3 * \dfrac45\) \(\large 2*4 = 8\) \(\large 3*5 = 15\) So the new fraction is: \(\large \dfrac{8}{15}\) Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (blazerider2798):

totally

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Good, so what's the answer to your question as a fraction?

OpenStudy (blazerider2798):

9/9 but that doesnt make sense

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Close, you multiplied the numerators, but not the denominators

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

\(\large \dfrac35 *\dfrac34\) \(\large 3*3 = 9\) \(\large 5*4 = ?\)

OpenStudy (blazerider2798):

oh so its 9/20

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes! :)

OpenStudy (blazerider2798):

i thought something seemed funny when i thought it was 9/9

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, just remember to multiply the top and bottom :)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
