Multiplication:
The methods of multiplication of fractions differ from addition & subtraction. The operation of multiplication is performed on both the numerator & the denominator.
Step 1: Multiply the numerators.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators.
Step 3: Reduce fraction to lowest terms.
Example:
2/3 . 1/4 = 2/12 = 1/6
Multiplication of mixed numbers might be accomplished by changing the mixed number to an improper fraction & then multiplying the numerators and denominators.
