 Multiplication Method:

We now know that so let me show you another way that you can solve this:

First, we will multiply across the top, so

And then we will multiply across the bottom, so

The product of the numerators will remain as the numerator, and the same for the
denominator

Leaving us with
A Helpful Tip!

When
  you are multiplying a fraction by a whole number, you can use the same method.

Any number over one equals itself.


Time to practice!
 
It looks like you added across the top and bottom
instead of multiplying!

Good job! You got the right answer!

But there is still more to learn.

Oh no! Remember to multiply across the top and
then the bottom to get your answer.

 Our answer to the last question was this
is the correct answer, but it can be
simplified to make it easier to work with.
You should always check and see if your
answer can be simplified.
To do this, we will look and see what both
Simplifying numbers can be divided by.

Fractions Here 10 and 30 can both be divided by 2


which leaves us with
Now we will see that both can be divided
by 5, leaving us with as our final answer
because they can’t be divided by
anything else.
 
When simplifying fractions, remember that whatever you divide one number by,
you must divide the other by. If you don’t do this, then your answer will be wrong
because it is no longer equivalent.

For example, with we divided them both by 2 which is okay because it keeps the
fraction equivalent. We know that 30 is divisible by 3, but 10 is not, so we cannot
do that.
When
  multiplying mixed numbers, there
are a few things we can do.
ex.)
3x2=6 and leaving us with 6
ex.)
Mixed Another way we can do this is by
converting the fractions into improper
Numbers fractions
To do this we will multiply the
denominator by the whole number, and
then adding that to the numerator. The
number you get will be the numerator,
and the denominator will remain the
same
Improper Fractions
Step 1: Multiply the denominator by the number out front

Step 2: Add the product to the numerator

Step 3: Make the sum your numerator

Step 4: Keep the denominator the same

After converting to an improper fraction, you can multiply as regular.


Just make sure you simplify and convert back to a proper fraction
Converting an Improper Fraction
to a Proper Fraction

 If is our final answer, it is equivalent, but not yet what your answer should be.

Our numerator is bigger than our denominator, so we need to fix this.

We will first figure out how many times 3 can go into 13 equally.

3x4=12, leaving us with 1 left over. The left over 1 will be our numerator, and our
denominator will still be 3.

So our answer will be 4
