Dear Gr 6 students, go over the exercises we did on multiplying Fr. using the following reminders: We multiply Fractions to find a fraction of a whole, or a fraction of a fraction. The rule for multilying Fr is to multiply n x n, and d x d then reduce the answer to lowest terms, or vice versa i.e. reduce first then multiply n x n & d x d. Examples: Find 1/2 of 36. We multiply 1/2 x 36 = 18, or as in 3/4 of 20 whereby we can reduce 20 by 4 then multiply times 3 to get 15. What is 2/3 of 3/5? We can multiply n x n and d x d then reduce, or reduce first then multiply. In both cases, the answer will be 2/5.
Thank you Mrs Yola I will.
ReplyDeleteNice blog and here is some of my views on fraction multiplication that is, There are three basic steps to learn addition of fractions:
DeleteStep 1: Check that sure the denominators are same
Step 2: Add the numerators and Put the answer over the denominator
Step 3: If needed then simplify the fraction
