Answer:
Here you go!:D
Step-by-step explanation:
So, lets use the example ⅔x¾
Multiply both numerators(the top numbers) first.
2×3=6
Then, multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers)
3×4=12
Put them together.
6/12
And then simplify!(divide by 2 until you cant divide it anymore)
6÷2=3
12÷2=4
3/4 would be the answer.
you can do this method even if the denominators are the same.
Now to multiply fractions with a whole number, I would do this:
Let's say you have to multiply 5 ⅘x⅞
You would want to change the whole number and fraction into a mixed number. (Do this by multiplying the whole number with the denominator and adding that answer with the numerator)
5×5=25+4=29
29/5
Now, just do the same thing as before, multiply both the tops and the bottoms!
29×7=203
5×8=40
203/40(make this into a whole number with a fraction)
203/40= 5 3/40
since we can't simplify that because its at its lowest, your done!
Hope this helps, if there's anything you want me to explain more thoroughly go ahead and ask!:]
