MULTIPLYING FRACTIONS AND MIXED FRACTIONS
To multiply fractions we multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and then simplify when needed. We can also make the multiplication easier by canceling first. First we’ll examine making models for multiplication of fractions. Then we’ll practice multiplication of fractions and multiplication of mixed fractions with paper and pencil.
