Multiplying fractions

    • Rule: when multiplying fractions just multiply the numerators and denominators straight across and simplify.you do not need a least common denominator( LCD)
    • Step 1:                          2 x 3 =6
    •                                4 x 6 = 24         

    • Step 2:     (6 x 1)            simplifying
    •              (6 x 4)  

    FINAL ANSWER:  
  1.             

    Answer:  
    • Another way of getting the same answer..
    • Step 1                       2 x 3 = 6
    •                           2  x 12 = 24

    • Step 2                         Simplify
    •                   (3 x 2)
    •               (3 x 8)      =     

    • Step 3              Simplify some more..
    •                 (2 x 1)
    •               ( 2 X 4)       = 


    it took 2 steps to get the same answer!
    • Multiply numerators and denominators straight across.
    • in this example we did not need to simplify
    •  is already simplified
    • meaning there is no number that can divide into 10 and 21 evenly
