How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, you multiply the two numerators together, and then the two denominators, and use these as the resulting numerators and denominators.

For example, to multiple 2/3 and 2/5, we multiply:

2x2 = 4, which is our numerator, and

3x5 = 15, which is our denominator.

This then gives us the fraction 4/15

What I usually do is multiply the two numerators. After that I multiply the two denominators. After that, If I can, I simplify the new fraction. Hope that helps!

Multiplying Fractions is the simplest of the lot.

1. Multiply the numerators
2. Multiply the denominators.
3. Simplify your answer.

If you have mixed numbers its to turn them in to improper before multiplying.
