Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
23 × 34 = 612 and that is already in simplest form.
Rewrite: 23 × 34 = 612 = 12 after simplifying by dividing both by 6.
2. Fix the sentence:
12 × 13 = 25 because you add the numerators and denominators.
Rewrite: 12 × 13 = 16 because you multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
3. Fix the sentence:
7 × 14 = 728 because you multiply 7 by the denominator too.
Rewrite: 7 × 14 = 74 = 134 because you multiply only the numerator by 7.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 35 × 56 simplified is 12.
2. 4 × 27 as a mixed number is 117.
3. 14 × 23 = 16.
4. 6 × 38 simplified is 214.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Why is the product of two proper fractions always less than either fraction?
Each fraction is less than 1, so multiplying by it takes only a part of the other fraction, making the product smaller.
2. A runner covers 34 of a mile in one lap. After 2 laps, how far has the runner gone? Show your work.
2 × 34 = 64 = 112 miles.
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 and that is already in simplest form.
Rewrite: 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 = 1/2 after simplifying by dividing both by 6.
2) Fix the sentence:
1/2 × 1/3 = 2/5 because you add the numerators and denominators.
Rewrite: 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6 because you multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
3) Fix the sentence:
7 × 1/4 = 7/28 because you multiply 7 by the denominator too.
Rewrite: 7 × 1/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 because you multiply only the numerator by 7.
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) 3/5 × 5/6 simplified is 1/2.
2) 4 × 2/7 as a mixed number is 1 1/7.
3) 1/4 × 2/3 = 1/6.
4) 6 × 3/8 simplified is 2 1/4.
★ Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1) Why is the product of two proper fractions always less than either fraction?
Each fraction is less than 1, so multiplying by it takes only a part of the other fraction, making the product smaller.
2) A runner covers 3/4 of a mile in one lap. After 2 laps, how far has the runner gone? Show your work.
2 × 3/4 = 6/4 = 1 1/2 miles.
