<h3>There are 3 simple steps to multiply fractions</h3>
<p>1. Multiply the top numbers (the <i>numerators</i>).</p>
<p>2. Multiply the bottom numbers (the <i>denominators</i>).</p>
<p>3. <a href="simplifying-fractions.html">Simplify</a> the fraction if needed.</p>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example:
<div class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span> × <span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>5</strong>
</span></div></h3>
<p><b>Step 1</b>. Multiply the top numbers:</p>

<em>1</em>
<strong>2</strong>

<em>2</em>

<em>2</em>

<p class="center">Do you see that half of two-fifths is two-tenths?<br>
Do you also see that two-tenths is simpler as one-fifth?</p>

<h3>With Pen and Paper</h3>
<p>And here is how to do it with a pen and paper (press the play button):</p>
<script>playerMain("numbers/images/fractions-mult-a.txt",600,120,'');</script>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Another Example:
<div class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span> × <span class="intbl">
<em>9</em>
<strong>16</strong>
</span></div></h3>
<p><b>Step 1</b>. Multiply the top numbers:</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span>&nbsp;×&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>9</em>
<strong>16</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>1&nbsp;×&nbsp;9</em>
<strong>&nbsp;</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>9</em>
<strong>&nbsp;</strong>
</span></p>
<p><b>Step 2</b>. Multiply the bottom numbers:</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span>&nbsp;×&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>9</em>
<strong>16</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>1&nbsp;×&nbsp;9</em>
<strong>3&nbsp;×&nbsp;16</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>9</em>
<strong>48</strong>
</span></p>
<p><br>
<b>Step 3</b>. Simplify the fraction:</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>9</em>
<strong>48</strong>
</span> = <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>16</strong>
</span></p>
<p><br>
<span class="center">(This time we simplified by dividing both top and bottom by 3)</span></p>

<h2>The Rhyme</h2>
<p class="center larger"><i><span class="times"></span> "Multiplying fractions: no big problem,<br>
Top times top over bottom times bottom.</i> <i><br>
"And don't forget to simplify,<br>
Before it's time to say goodbye"<span class="times"></span></i></p>
<h2>Fractions and Whole Numbers</h2>
<p>What about multiplying fractions <b>and</b> whole numbers?</p>
<p><b>Make the whole number a fraction, by putting it over 1.</b></p>
<div class="center80">
<p class="center large">Example: 5 is also <span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>1</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<p>Then continue as before.</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example:
<div class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span> &nbsp;×&nbsp; 5</div></h3>
<p>Make 5 into <span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>1</strong>
</span> :</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span>&nbsp;×&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>1</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Now just go ahead as normal.</p>
<p>Multiply tops and bottoms:</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span>&nbsp;×&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>1</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>2&nbsp;×&nbsp;5</em>
<strong>3&nbsp;×&nbsp;1</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>10</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span></p>
<p>The fraction is already as simple as it can be.</p>
<p class="center large">Answer = <span class="intbl">
<em>10</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<p>Or you can just think of the whole number as being a "top" number:</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example:
<div class="center large">3&nbsp;×&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>9</strong>
</span></div></h3>
<p>Multiply tops and bottoms:</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>&nbsp;</strong>
</span>&nbsp;×&nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>9</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>3&nbsp;×&nbsp;2</em>
<strong>9</strong>
</span>&nbsp; = &nbsp;<span class="intbl">
<em>6</em>
<strong>9</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Simplify:</p>
<p class="center large"><span class="intbl">
<em>6</em>
<strong>9</strong>
</span> = <span class="intbl">
<em>2</em>
<strong>3</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
