Teaching multiplying Signed Fractions Easily
- Whenever, we multiply two fractions of the same sign, always multiply the numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator and keep the same sign.
- However, the multiplication of fractions can be represented either horizontally keeping the numerator on top and the denominator at the bottom separated by a division bar.
Let us take the example below to understand more about multiplying signed fractions.
Example 1: Solve for ¾ x 5/2.
According to the question, both numbers are of the same sign. Hence, we can easily multiply them.
So, ¾ x 5/2 = (3 x 5)/(4 x 2) = 15/8
