A fraction represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number). For example, in the fraction $$\frac{3}{4}$$ , 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator.

How do you represent $$\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{3}$$ using an area model?

Draw a rectangle divided into 5 equal parts (for $$\frac{3}{5}$$ ) and shade 3 of those parts. Then, divide the shaded area into 3 equal parts vertically (for $$\frac{1}{3}$$ ) and shade 1 part. The overlapping shaded area represents the product.

What is the product of $$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 3} = \frac{1}{6}$$ .

What is the product of $$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{6}$$ ?

$$\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{6} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 6} = \frac{12}{30} = \frac{2}{5}$$ after simplification.

How do you simplify the fraction $$\frac{6}{8}$$ ?

To simplify $$\frac{6}{8}$$ , divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2. So, $$\frac{6 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{3}{4}$$ .

What is the product of $$\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{5}$$ ?

$$\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 5} = \frac{2}{25}$$ .

What does it mean to find the area of a rectangle using fractions?

Finding the area of a rectangle using fractions involves multiplying the length and width, which can be represented as fractions. For example, if the length is $$\frac{3}{4}$$ and the width is $$\frac{2}{3}$$ , the area is $$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$$ .

What is the product of $$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{5}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 5} = \frac{2}{15}$$ .

How do you represent $$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{2}{6}$$ using an area model?

Draw a rectangle divided into 5 equal parts (for $$\frac{1}{5}$$ ) and shade 1 part. Then, divide the shaded area into 6 equal parts vertically (for $$\frac{2}{6}$$ ) and shade 2 parts. The overlapping shaded area represents the product.

What is the product of $$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{6}$$ ?

$$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{6} = \frac{3 \times 4}{4 \times 6} = \frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2}$$ after simplification.

What is the product of $$\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{5}$$ ?

$$\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 5} = \frac{4}{25}$$ .

What is the product of $$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3}$$ ?

$$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{1}{15}$$ .
