Example Question #15 : How To Multiply Fractions

Which of the following is closest to the product of $6\frac{1}{2}$ and $8\frac{2}{3}$ ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First convert the mix fractions into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number with the numerator and then adding that number to the numerator while all keeping it over the denominator.

$6\frac{1}{2} \times 8\frac{2}{3}$

$= \frac{6 \times 2 + 1}{2} \times \frac{8 \times 3+ 2}{3}$

$= \frac{13}{2} \times \frac{26}{3}$

When multiplying two fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

$= \frac{13 \times 26 }{2 \times 3}$

$= \frac{338}{6}$

$= \frac{338 \div 2}{6 \div 2}$

$= \frac{169}{3}$

Divide:

$169 \div 3 = 56 \textup{ R }1$ ,

$6\frac{1}{2} \times 8\frac{2}{3} = \frac{169}{3} = 56 \frac{1}{3}$ .

This makes 55 the response closest to the actual product.

Example Question #1293 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)

Multiply these fractions:

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{2}{5}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{1}{20}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1\cdot 2}{4\cdot 5}=\frac{2}{20}$

Then simplify the fraction accordingly:

$\frac{2\div 2}{20\div 2}=\frac{1}{10}$
