Instructions and Help about Which Form 8865 Fraction

You've probably noticed that we've been talking an awful lot about fractions around here lately. Well, now I'm going to tell you something you can do with fractions that's really easy. No, no, not juggling fractions, although that is pretty easy for me. I'm talking about something even easier than that. I'm talking about multiplying fractions. Multiplying fractions is super easy. In fact, it's easier than adding fractions, and that's why we're going to learn it first. The reason it's easier is because fractions are really just division problems, and multiplication and division get along much better than addition and division. Now, since fractions are division, that means if I have the problem one-fourth times two-thirds, it's the same as the problem 1/4 times 2/3. That means I have both multiplication and division in the same problem. And because they get along so well, that means I can just rearrange our problem to look like this. Now, it looks like two multiplication problems that are being divided, and it looks just like a fraction. In fact, if we go ahead and do the multiplications, 1 times 2 equals 2 and 4 times 3 equals 12, then we do have a fraction and it's the answer to our problem. So, what does all this mean? Well, it means that to multiply fractions, all you have to do is multiply the top numbers and then multiply the bottom numbers, and ta-da, there's your answer. As always, let's see an example or two. Let's try this problem: 2/3 times 4/5. Now, we could rewrite the problem like we just saw, but that's not necessary as long as we remember the procedure. First, we know our answer is going to be a fraction, so let's go ahead and write a new fraction line for it. Next, we multiply...
