MULTIPLICATION OF MIXED FRACTIONS:
Steps
to find product of mixed fractions:
i)
Convert Mixed fractions into Improper fractions.
ii)
Multiply the formed Improper fractions. (use
the steps to find the product of Fractions).
iii)
Simplify into its Lowest terms.
Solve
the following:
1) 3 1/5
of 2 3/4
Solution:
Given:
mixed fractions = 3 1/5; 2 3/ 4
Converting
into Improper fractions:
3
1/5 = 16/5 ; 2 3/ 4 = 11/4.
Required
product = 16/5 x 11/4 = (16x11) / (5x4) =
44/5.
2)
3 2/6
of 6 2/5
Solution:
Given:
Mixed fractions = 3 2/6 ; 6 2/5
Converting
into Improper fractions:
3
2/6 = 20/6 ; 6 2/5 = 32/5.
Required
Product = 20/6 x 32/5 = (20x32) / (6x5) = 64/3.
3) 2 1/15 of 2 1/5
Solution:
Given:
Mixed fractions= 2 1/15 ; 2 1/5
Converting
into Improper fractions:
2
1/15 = 31/15 ; 2 1/5 = 11/5.
Required
Product = (31x11) / (15x5) = 341/75.
