Guided Notes

3 key concepts

  • 1

    To multiply fractions, you multiply the top numbers and then multiply the bottom numbers.

  • 2

    When multiplying fractions, if you have more than two fractions, you multiply all the top numbers together, and then multiply all the bottom numbers together to get your answer.

  • 3

    Multiplying fractions is like taking a part of another part; the word "of" can replace "times" in word problems.
