  • To multiply fractions you multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator. The word "of" is also used to show multiplication in Maths.

    Example

    \( \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5}= \frac{2 \times4 }{3 \times5} = \frac{8}{15} \)

    Mixed numbers must be changed to improper fractions before multiplying. This is explained in the following video lesson.
