Activity: multiplication of fractions [lo 1.7.3, lo 2.1.5]

18. MULTIPLICATION OF FRACTIONS

18.1 Multiplication of fractions with natural numbers

You already know that multiplication is repeated addition.

a) See if you can complete the following table:

SUM SKETCH REPEATED ADDITION PRODUCT
e.g. 5 × 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} 1 2 + 1 2 + 1 2 + 1 2 + 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } + { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } + { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } + { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } + { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} 2 1 2 size 12{2 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {}
6 × 1 4 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} .................................................. .................
2 × 3 7 size 12{ { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{7} } } } {} .................................................. .................
3 × 2 3 size 12{ { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } } {} .................................................. .................
4 × 2 5 size 12{ { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{5} } } } {} .................................................. .................

b) Look carefully at the completed table. Can you think of a shorter way/method to find the answers?

..........................................................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................................................

c) TAKE NOTE!

You could also follow this method:

1. Write both numbers as fractions e.g. 6 × 1 4 = 6 1 × 1 4 size 12{6 times { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } = { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{1} } } times { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } } {}

2. Multiply the numerators: 6 × 1 = 6

3. Multiply the denominators: 1 × 4 = 4

4. Simplify the answer: 6 4 = 1 2 4 = 1 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{4} } } =1 { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{4} } } =1 { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {}

d) Calculate:

(i) 7 × 3 10 size 12{7 times { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{"10"} } } } {}

(ii) 2 3 × 6 size 12{ { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } times 6} {}

___________________________________________________

___________________________________________________

___________________________________________________

___________________________________________________

(iii) 12 × 7 9 size 12{"12" times { { size 8{7} } over { size 8{9} } } } {}

e) We would represent 6 × 1 4 size 12{6 times { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} in another way using a number line:

f) Represent the following on a number line: x = 4 × 2 3 size 12{x=4 times { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{3} } } } {}

18.2 Multiplying fractions with fractions

a) Look carefully at the following examples:

(i) Half ( 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} ) of three quarters ( 3 4 size 12{ { { size 8{3} } over { size 8{4} } } } {} ) can be shown like this:
