Example Questions

Example Question #21 : How To Multiply Fractions

Raise $- \frac{3}{2}$ to the fifth power.

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{32}{243}$

$\frac{243} {32}$

$\frac{32}{243}$

$-\frac{243} {32}$

$- \frac{3}{2}$ cannot be raised to the fifth power.

Correct answer:

$-\frac{243} {32}$

Explanation:

To raise a negative number to an odd-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power, then make the sign negative. Also, to raise a fraction to a power, raise its numerator and its denominator to that power. Combine these ideas as follows:

$\left (- \frac{3}{2} \right )^{5} = - \left ( \frac{3}{2}\right )^{5} = - \left ( \frac{3^{5}} {2^{5}} \right ) = - \left ( \frac{3 \times 3 \times 3\times 3 \times 3 }{2\times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 } \right ) = -\frac{243}{32}$

Example Question #22 : How To Multiply Fractions

Solve for in this equation:

$\frac{2}{3x}=\frac{9}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{10}{27}$

$\frac{5}{27}$

$\frac{27}{10}$

$\frac{10}{29}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{10}{27}$

Explanation:

To solve for , we need to cross multiply.

$\frac{2}{3x}=\frac{9}{5}$

$2\times5=9\times3x$

10=27x

Divide both sides by 27 to isolate the variable.

$\frac{10}{27}=x$

The fraction cannot be reduced, making this our final answer.

Example Question #23 : How To Multiply Fractions

Which of the answer choices is equal to $\frac{63}{9}\cdot\frac{3}{2}$ ?

Possible Answers:

$11\frac{1}{2}$

$10\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

$10\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

The expression, $\frac{63}{9}\cdot\frac{3}{2}$ is equal to:

$(63\div9)\cdot\frac{3}{2}$

This is equal to:

$7\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

This equals:

$\frac{21}{2}=10\frac{1}{2}$

Example Question #24 : How To Multiply Fractions

Find the product.

$\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{5}{9}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{18}{35}$

$\frac{10}{63}$

$\frac{7}{16}$

$\frac{10}{42}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{10}{63}$

Explanation:

To multiply fractions, simply multiply the first numerator by the second numerator and the first denominator by the second denominator. Simply when necessary.

$2\times5=10$

$7\times9=63$

$\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{5}{9}=\frac{10}{63}$

Example Question #25 : How To Multiply Fractions

What is $\frac{1}{5}$ of $\frac{7}{6}$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{11}$

$\frac{7}{5}$

$\frac{7}{6}$

$\frac{6}{30}$

$\frac{7}{30}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{7}{30}$

Explanation:

To find the answer, you must multiple the fractions together.

When multiplying fractions, all you have to do is multiple the numerators together and the denominators together.

1*7=7

and

5*6=30

giving us

$\frac{7}{30}$ .

Example Question #24 : How To Multiply Fractions

$\frac{6}{7}*\frac{1}{9}=x?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{7}{18}$

$\frac{2}{21}$

$\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{11}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{21}$

Explanation:

To multiply fractions, you must multiple the numerators and denominators.

6*1=6

and

9*7=63 .

Your final answer is $\frac{6}{63}=\frac{3\cdot 2}{3\cdot 21}=\frac{2}{21}$ .

Example Question #25 : How To Multiply Fractions

Solve for :

$\frac{5}{6}*\frac{3}{4}=x$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{8}{10}$

$\frac{5}{8}$

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{8}{24}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$

Explanation:

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators

5*3=15

and multiply the denominators

6*4=24

to get,

$\frac{15}{24}$ .

They each have a common factor of so it reduces down to $\frac{5}{8}$ by dividing each.

Example Question #26 : How To Multiply Fractions

Multiply the following:

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{3}{6}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{3}{3}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, we will first multiply the numerators, then we will multiply the denominators.

So, given the fractions

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$

when multiplying, we will get

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 3}$

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{9}$

Example Question #26 : How To Multiply Fractions

Simplify the following expression:

$\frac{4}{5}*\frac{8}{9}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{11}{21}$

$\frac{32}{45}$

$\frac{40}{63}$

$\frac{32}{63}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{32}{45}$

Explanation:

Simplify the following expression:

$\frac{4}{5}*\frac{8}{9}$

To multiply fractions, simply multiply across the top and bottom:

$\frac{4}{5}*\frac{8}{9}=\frac{4*8}{5*9}=\frac{32}{45}$

Now, we cannot simplify our answer, so our answer remains:

$\frac{32}{45}$

Example Question #28 : How To Multiply Fractions

Simplify the following:

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{4}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{22}{15}$

$\frac{8}{15}$

$\frac{120}{15}$

$\frac{4}{15}$

$\frac{6}{8}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{8}{15}$

Explanation:

When we multiply fractions, we first multiply the numerators, then we multiply the denominators. We do not need to find common denominators when multiplying. So in

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{4}{5}$

we will multiply. We get

$\frac{2 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 5}$

$\frac{8}{15}$
