Amazing Fractions

• You use fractions for cooking
• You use fractions for materials you might need
  for a job.
• You also use fractions to cut pie.

Multiplying Fractions

• Step one is to write down the problem
• Step two is to multiply across
• Once you have multiplied across and you get the
  answer and you also need to see if it is in
  simplest form

2/3 x 3/4
2 X 3 6 3 X 4 12

Multiplying Fractions

• If it is not in simplest form you need to find
  the GCF of the numerator and the denominator.
• Once you have found the GCF of the numerator and
  the denominator you divide them both by the GCF
• Now you have put the multiplied fraction into
  simplest form and you are now done Multiplying
  the fraction.

2 X 3 6 6 goes into 6 and into
12 3 X 4 12 so the GCF is 6
2 X 3 6 \ 6 1 3 X 4 12 \ 6 2

Dividing Fractions

• After learning how to multiply fractions you now
  need to know how to divide them.
• First you write down the problem
• After you write down the problem you use the
  method Copy- dot- Flip
• For Copy- dot- Flip you copy the first fraction
  and flip around the second. Then you flip the
  division sign to a multiplication sign.

5/8 \ 5/7
5 X 7 8 X 5

Dividing Fractions

• After you copy- dot- flip you multiply across

• After you multiply across you have an answer that
  you might have to put in simplest form.
• Then you find the GCF of the denominator and
  numerator then you divide the fraction by the
  GCF and you have now put your answer in simplest
  form.

5 X 7 5 X 7 35 8 X 5 8 X 5 40
35 \ 5 5 goes into 35 and 40 40 \ 5 so the
GCF is 5 so divide

• \ 5 7 is the
• 40 \ 5 8 answer
