Multiplying a Fraction by a Fraction
In this video, you’ll learn the simple steps for fraction multiplication and see exactly how to multiply a fraction by a fraction. When you multiply a fraction by a fraction, the process is straightforward: multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. Watch as we demonstrate fraction times fraction problems step-by-step, like ½ times ⅓. You’ll see how multiplying 1 × 1 gives you 1, and 2 × 3 gives you 6, resulting in 1/6. This video breaks down fraction multiplication with clear examples, showing you ¾ × ⅖ and other fraction times fraction problems so you can master this essential skill. By the end of this video, you’ll understand why fraction multiplication is easier than it looks and feel confident solving any problem involving a fraction by a fraction—an important concept in the MATATAG curriculum.
