What is the benefit of using cross-cancellation in fraction multiplication?

• It changes the denominators to the same value

• It makes the fractions larger

• It avoids the need to simplify the final product

• It converts fractions to decimals

When using cross-cancellation, what do you do with the GCF?

• Use it to cancel out common factors before multiplying

• Add it to the numerator

• Ignore it

• Subtract it from the denominator

• 5/10

• 1/1

• 1/2

• 9/45

How do you multiply a fraction by a whole number?

• Add the whole number to the numerator

• Convert the whole number to a fraction with 1 as the denominator and then multiply

• Multiply the numerator by the whole number and keep the denominator the same

• Multiply the whole number by the denominator
