Multiplying Rational Numbers:

  • Multiply the numerators and denominators of both fractions
  • Simply if necessary

Mixed Fraction: a number that is made up of a whole number and its remainder as a proper fraction

5 x 13 = 65 2 x 4 = 8

65/8

  • How many times can 8 fit into the number 65?
  • 8x8 = 64
  • the remainder is 1

The product would be
8(1)/(8) as a mixed number.
