Question

How do you multiply fractions with different denominators

Answer 1

multiply across. Multiply the numerator or denominator. Remember what you do to the numerator you have to do to the denominator.

Answer 2

Multiplication of fractions is simple, they don't have to be common denominators to be able to multiply. You just have to multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators for example; 1/3 × 1/2 = 1/6

Common denominators are only required in adding or subtracting fractions.
