Multiplying improper fractions is just like multiplying proper fractions. You multiply the numerators (top number) of each fraction to come up with the numerator of the answer. The you multiply the denominators (bottom number) of both numbers to get the denominator of the answer.
EX: 8/3 X 9/5= 72/15 or 24/5 (reduced)
The next step in the equation is taking the improper fraction and converting it to a mixed number. You do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator. The whole number of the quotient becomes the whole number in the fraction, and the remainder becomes the numerator, which is over the denominator of the improper fraction
EX: 24/5= 4 and 4/5; 24 divided by 5 = 4 with a remainder of 4.
you just multiply as you would an number

How do you multiply 3 fractions together?
The numerator of the product is the product of the three numerators and the denominator of the product is the product of the three denominators.So, for example, (a/b)*(c/d)*(e/f) = (a*c*e)/(b*d*f)
How do I convert 150 000 into a fraction?
150000 an integer and not a fraction. However, it can be expressed in rational form as 150000/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
