To multiply fractions, you must simply multiply the numerators and denominators. This means, that by multiplying fractions, you are making the fractions smaller. If this does not make sense, then read the following example. Example: Equation: 2 4 _ x _ 3 6 Step 1: Multiply the numerators: 2 x 4 = 8 Step 2: Multiply the Denominators: 3 x 6 = 18 Now you have your answer! 8 _ 18!!!!
Multiply the denominator by the big number on the right, then divide by the numerator. Put the value you get over the original denominator. Once you've dont that, divide the new numerator by the original denominator and there you go!
15/32 = 15 / 32= .46875
2 2/4 *3/5
The answer to a multiplication equation is called the product.

Cross multiplication is when you multiply the denominator of a fraction by the numerator of another fraction. Before you cross multiply you want to see if you can simply the fractions.
Treat is the same way as you would a proper fraction.
When dividing by a fraction, the answer is obtained by multiplying by the reciprocal.
Not if the fraction is positive. But yes if the fraction is negative. Study the rules of multiplication and division by integers, and you wil see why. Multiplication by a fraction is simplty multiplication by one integer followed by division by another (or the other way round).
