Multiplying Fractions

The second page covers the multiplication of fractions, presenting a straightforward approach to this operation with clear examples and practice opportunities.

Definition: When multiplying fractions, multiply numerators together and denominators together separately.

Example: For 2/3 × 5/6:

  1. Multiply numerators: 2 × 5
  2. Multiply denominators: 3 × 6
  3. Simplify the result when possible

Highlight: Simplification can be done before multiplication to make calculations easier.

Practice questions include:

  • 2/3 × 1/20
  • 2/6 × 4
  • 2/6 × 5/9

Vocabulary: Simplifying means reducing a fraction to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

This section explains the essential principles of adding and subtracting fractions with detailed examples and practice opportunities. The focus is on understanding common denominators and their role in fraction operations.

Definition: Common denominators are the same bottom numbers in fractions that are necessary for addition and subtraction operations.

Example: In the problem 2/5 + 3/4, we need to find a common denominator before adding. The process involves:

  1. Finding the lowest common multiple (20)
  2. Multiplying both numerator and denominator accordingly
  3. Adding the resulting numerators (8 + 15 = 23)
  4. Simplifying to get 23/20

Highlight: Whatever operation you perform on the numerator must also be applied to the denominator to maintain the fraction's value.

Practice questions are provided for reinforcement, including:

  • 5/7 + 4
  • 6/10 + 2
  • 8/4 + 3
