Answer 2

Answer:

To multiply fractions you have to put the fractions into fraction form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say I multiplied 3 by 1/2

I would make it 3/1 (1/2)

Since it can't be simplified I would multiply the top numbers with the top numbers, and the bottom numbers with the bottom numbers.

So in this example it would be 3/2 as the final answer.

To divide fractions you have to make the problem into a multiplication problem.

Lets use the 3 multiplied by 1/2 example but make it 3 divided by 1/2.

So we have 3/1 divided by 1/2. To make it easier we would flip the second number to make the equation go from division to multiplication.

So the problem becomes 3/1 times 2/1

So when you multiply the two together you get 6.
