Question

I literally forgot how to multiply and divide fractions .-.

Answer 1

\[\frac{a}{b}\times
\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\times c}{b\times d}\]fpr example \[\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{15}\]

Answer 2

step to multiplying fractions is to line them up so that their numerators and denominators are next to each other. If you're multiplying the fraction 1/2 by 12/48, then the first thing you want to do is multiply the numerators, 1 and 12. 1 x 12 = 12. Write the product, 12, in the numerator of the answer. s

Answer 3

hope i helped

Answer 4

dividing i do the same thing?

Answer 5

flip the second one, then multiply

Answer 6

\[\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c}\]

Answer 7

for example \[\frac{2}{5}\div\frac{7}{11}=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{11}{7}\]

Answer 8

Here’s the Rule for Division

To divide, convert the fraction division process to a multiplication process by using the following steps.

Change the “÷” (division sign) to “x” (multiplication sign) and invert the number to the right of the sign.
Multiply the numerators.
Multiply the denominators.
Re-write your answer in its simplified or reduced form, if needed

Answer 16

When we divide two fractions, such as 2/3 ÷ 1/4, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.

We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.


which equels to 2 and 2/3

Answer 17

so what would i do if the fraction has a mixed number fraction?
