10 Examples of Multiplication of Fractions with Answers

To multiply fractions, we simply have to multiply the numerators and denominators separately. However, if we have mixed fractions, we have to start by converting the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Lastly, we simplify the final answer if possible.

Here, we will look at 10 examples with answers of multiplication of fractions. In addition, you will be able to test your skills with some practice problems.

How to multiply fractions

To multiply fractions, we can follow the following steps:

Step 1: Convert mixed fractions or whole numbers to improper fractions, if any.

If we have whole numbers, we simply write 1 as the denominator. If we have mixed fractions, we multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the result to the numerator.

Step 2: Multiply the numerators.

Step 3: Multiply the denominators.

Step 4: Simplify the final fraction if possible.
