How to multiply and divide fractions with a number beside them

Sagot :

Answer:

After making them the improper fractions the numerator is multiplied with the numerator and denominator is multiplied with the denominator .

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have fractions

3 4/5   and 2 15/24

So we multiply the whole number with the denominator beside them and add to the numerator to make them an improper fraction.

These will become

19/5   *   63/24

= 19*63/ 5*24

= 1197/120

=  9 117/120

After making them the improper fractions the numerator is multiplied with the numerator and denominator is multiplied with the denominator .

The answer 1197/120 is divided ( 1197 is divided by 120) to get the mixed number back  with a whole number and a fraction.
