What is an algorithm for multiplying fractions?
Multiply straight across and cross reduce when necessary
What is the definition of multiplying fractions?
definition of multiplying fractions?
what is the meaning of multiplying fractions and where the rules comes from?
Multiplying fractions is all about division
What is the Euclid's Algorithm to simplify fractions?
it is euclidean algorithm...
Why do you not use common denominators while multiplying fractions?
probably to multiply easier
What is three eighths multiplied by three fifths?
When multiplying fractions the algorithm to use is: multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators to create a new fraction. Thus 3/8 * 3/5 = (3*3)/(8*5) = 9/40.
What is the algorithm for adding fractions?

Why does a multiplication algorithm work the way it does?
The answer to this question depends on the multiplication algorithm you are working with. If you are working with an algorithm for multiplying fractions, the answer of why it works the way it does is going to be different than if you are multiplying whole numbers. If you are looking to explain multiplication algorithms to young children (and even to explain algorithms to older children or to better understand them yourself), it is useful to use physical objects and play with multiplication. Once you work out a few of the type of problem you are doing (or a scaled down version if you are working with large numbers) it will likely become clearer to you why it works the way it does.
