MULTIPLYING MIXED FRACTIONS SHEET 1
To multiply a mixed fraction by another fraction you must first convert the mixed
number to an improper fraction. Once you have done this, then you can multiply
the two fractions together by simply multiplying the two numerators and then the
two denominators.
Example 1 2 2 x 5 = 8 x 5 8x5 40
= =
3 9 3 9 3x9 27
Example 2 3 1 x 5 = 13 x 5 = 13x5 = 65
4 4 4 4
Multiply these fractions together. Your answer can be left as an improper fraction
and does not need to be in simplest form.
