How Do You Multiply Fractions?


The number on the top of a fraction is called the numerator. The number on the bottom of a fraction is called the denominator.

To multiply fractions, you multiply all the numerators together and multiply all the denominators together.

For example, to solve 2/3 x 2/5

To turn any fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

What is 3/4 as a decimal?
3 divided by 4 = 0.75
So, 3/4 = 0.75

What is 1/5 as a decimal?
1 divided by 5 = 0.2
