Multiplying Rules: Just do it!
- What this means is that you simply have to multiply the numerators with one another and the denominators with one another and presto!
- Make sure change mixed numbers into improper fractions
- Just like with adding and subtracting though, your answer needs to be in its simplest form.
- You can also cross reduce to save you some time.
Dividing Rules:
- Find the reciprocal of the fraction being divided.
- The reciprocal is found when you swap the numerator and denominator or simply turning the fraction upside down.
- Then simply follow the multiplication rules
