Three simple steps are required to multiply two fractions: Step 1: Multiply the numerators from each fraction by each other (the numbers on top). The result is the numerator of the answer. Step 2: Multiply the denominators of each fraction by each other (the numbers on the bottom). The result is the denominator of the… Continue reading Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

Simplifying and Reducing Fractions
One of the things you have to do at the end of most fraction problems is to simplify or reduce the fraction. When you reduce a fraction, you don’t change the actual value of the fraction, you just write it down in its simplest form. How do you know if a fraction is fully reduced?… Continue reading Simplifying and Reducing Fractions
Equivalent Fractions
When fractions have different numbers in them, but have the same value, they are called equivalent fractions. Let’s take a look at a simple example of equivalent fractions: the fractions ½ and 2/4. These fractions have the same value, but use different numbers. You can see from the picture below that they both have the… Continue reading Equivalent Fractions
