Example Questions

Example Question #251 : How To Multiply Fractions

A recipe calls for $\frac{1}{3}$ of a cup of flour. If you triple the recipe, how much flour do you need?

Possible Answers:

$3\ cups$

$3\frac{1}{3}\ cups$

$2\ cups$

$\frac{2}{3}\ cup$

$1\ cup$

Correct answer:

$1\ cup$

Explanation:

When you multiply a fraction by a whole number, you first want to make the whole number into a fraction. You do that by putting the whole number over $\small 1.$ Then multiply the numerator by the numerator and denominator by the denominator.

$\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{3}{1}=\frac{3}{3}$

Reduce to find your final answer.

$\frac{3}{3}\div\frac{3}{3}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

A recipe calls for $\frac{2}{3}$ of a cup of flour. If you triple the recipe, how much flour do you need?

Possible Answers:

$1\frac{1}{3}\ cups$

$2\ cups$

$3\ cups$

$1\ cup$

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

Correct answer:

$2\ cups$

Explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{3}{1}=\frac{6}{3}$

Reduce to find your final answer.

$\frac{6}{3}=2$

Example Question #253 : How To Multiply Fractions

Mary is trying out for the track team this year. On Monday she ran laps. On Tuesday she runs $1\tfrac{1}{2}$ times as many laps as she did on Monday. How many laps does she run on Tuesday?

Possible Answers:

$26\ laps$

$6\ laps$

$18\ laps$

$24\ laps$

$20\ laps$

Correct answer:

$18\ laps$

Explanation:

First, you need to change the mixed number into an improper fraction. To do this, you multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator. That number becomes the numerator of your improper fraction. The denominator stays the same.

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

Then put your whole number over to make it a fraction, and multiply like normal.

$\frac{12}{1}\times\frac{3}{2}=\frac{36}{2}$

Finally, reduce to find your final answer.

$\frac{36}{2}=18$
