Mathematics Practice III
Multiplying Fractions

Part 1

Use the fraction kit to solve these problems:

1/3 x 2 (Think "1/3 two times") 1/8 x 5 (Think "1/8 five times")

1/4 x 3 (Think "1/4 three times") 1/6 x 4 (Think "1/6 four times")

Part 2

Use the fraction kit to solve these problems (remember that x can mean "of"):

What is 1/2 x 2/3?  (Think: What is 1/2 of 2/3?)

What is 1/3 x 3/8? (Think: What is 1/3 of 3/8?)

Part 3

Use the fraction kit to solve these problems (remember that x can mean "of"):

What is 1/2 x 1/2?  (Think: What is 1/2 of 1/2?) What is 1/2 x 1/4? (Think: What is 1/2 of 1/4?)

What is 1/2 x 2/3? (Think: What is 1/2 of 2/3?) What is 1/2 x 1/3? (Think: What is 1/2 of 1/3?)
