Example Question #1909 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Multiply:
Remember, when multiplying fractions, multiply straight across.
But first, try to see if you can reduce diagonally. You can in this case.
Then, multiply across to get your answer of .
Make sure it's in simplest form.
Example Question #61 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions
Simplify: .
The first thing we want to do is to take the reciprocal of the second term to change this into a multiplication problem:
Now we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
Finally, we simplify:
Example Question #62 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions
Solve:
To divide the fraction, we will need to rewrite the expression using multiplication.
Change the sign and take the reciprocal of the second term.
The three on the numerator and the nine on the denominator can be reduced.
Multiply the numerator with the numerator and denominator with the denominator.
The answer is:
Example Question #63 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions
Multiply the fractions:
Notice that the numerator and denominator have similar terms that can be simplified.
Instead of multiplying all the terms together, rewrite the fractions using common factors.
Cancel the common terms in the numerator and denominator.
The answer is:
Example Question #64 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions
Divide the fractions:
In order to divide the fraction, we will need to change the division sign to a multiplication sign and take the reciprocal of the second term.
Cancel out the common terms on the numerator and denominator.
The fraction becomes:
The answer is:
Example Question #65 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions
Multiply the fractions:
It is not necessary to multiply all the numerators and denominators.
Rewrite the expression using common factors.
Cancel the common terms in the numerator and denominator.
The answer is:
Example Question #1911 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Multiply and simplify the fractions:
In order to simplify fractions, we will need to rewrite the numbers using common factors instead of multiplying the numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator.
Cancel out the common terms in the numerators and denominators.
The answer is:
Example Question #1912 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Divide the two fractions:
Change the division sign to a multiplication sign and take the reciprocal of the second term.
Multiply the numerators together.
Multiply the denominators together.
Divide the numerator with denominator. Do not cancel the on the numerator and denominator.
The answer is:
Example Question #1911 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs
Multiply the following fractions:
The denominators do not have to be common to multiply the fractions.
Notice that the nine is divisible by three. We can rewrite the nine with three times three and cancel one of the threes in the numerator and denominator.
The answer is:
Example Question #233 : Fractions
Solve:
To simplify the complex fraction, we can rewrite the problem using a division sign.
Change the sign to multiplication and take the reciprocal of the second fraction.
The answer is:
