Multiplying Fractions



How to multiply fractions.

Step 1: Get your equation e.g 5/6 X 2/4

Step 2: Take 5/6 and split them into 5 and 6

Step 3: Then take 2/4 and split them into 2 and 4

Step 4: Times the first two numbers of the fractions together 5 X 2 = 10

Step 5: Then times the second two numbers of the fractions together 6 X 4 = 24

Step 6: Now take your two answers and put them together as a fraction 10/24

Step 7: Simplify your answer so in this case it is 5/12
