Multiply Fractions Independent Lesson

How to Multiply Fractions...

When multiplying fractions, you first multiply the numerators. Then, you multiply the denominators. Look below at an example..

Multiple Choice

$$\frac{1}{4}\ x\ \frac{1}{2}\ =\$$

Multiple Choice

$$\frac{2}{5}\ x\ \frac{2}{3}\ =\$$

• 4/8

  4 over 8

  or

  four-eighths

• 4/15

  4 over 15

  or

  four-fifteenths

• 1/15

  1 over 15

  or

  one-fifteenths

1. Simplify Fractions

After you watch the video, continue to the next slide.

Fill in the Blanks

$\frac{2}{10}$

Simplify the fraction above.

Remember, find the GCF for 2 and 10 (you have notes in your notebook), then divide the numerator and the denominator both by the GCF to determine what the simplified answer is... Use your whiteboard and Math Notebook to help you...

The slash represents the fraction bar

Fill in the Blanks

$\frac{4}{20}$

Simplify the fraction above. Remember, find the GCF for 4 and 20 (you have notes in your notebook), then divide the numerator and the denominator both by the GCF to determine what the simplified answer is...

Fill in the Blanks

$\frac{10}{20}$

The slash represents the fraction bar

Now, you'll have to multiply and simplify if the answer has a GCF greater than 1.
