Multiplying Three Fractions
The below solved example with step by step calculation or workout may help users to learn how to find the equivalent fraction by multiplying three fractions with same or different denominators.
Problem
Find the product of three fractions 1/2, 3/8 and 2/7.
Step by step workout
step 1 Address formula and input values.
Input values:
1/2,3/8,2/7
1/2x3/8x2/7 = ?
step 2 Multiply all the numerators
1 x 3 x 2 = 6
step 3 Multiply all the denominators
2 x 8 x 7 = 112
step 4 Substitute in the fraction
=6/112
= 3/56
1/2x3/8 x 2/7 = 3/56
3/56 is the product of multiplying three fractions 1/2, 3/8 and 2/7.
Multiplying Multiple Fractions and Whole Numbers
The below solved example with step by step workout may help users to know how to find the equivalent fraction by multiplying multiple fractions (with unlike or different denominators) and whole numbers.
Problem
Find the product of fractions and whole numbers such as 2/3, 5, 4/7, 1/3 and 9.
Step by step workout
step 1 Address formula and input values.
Input values:
2/3, 5 , 4/7,1/3 , 9
2/3x5x4/7x1/3x 9 = ?
step 2 Convert whole numbers to fractions and rewrite as below
Any whole number or integer is a rational number (quotient of 1), hence the denominators for all whole numbers is 1 and can be written as
5 =5/1
9 =9/1
step 3 Arrange all the numbers as fractions.
2/3x5/1x4/7x1/3x9/1
step 4 Multiply all the numerators
= 2 x 5 x 4 x 1 x 9
= 360
step 5 Multiply all the denominators
= 3 x 1 x 7 x 3 x 1
= 63
step 6 Rewrite and simplify the fraction using steps 3 and 4
=360/63
=40/7
2/3x 5 x 4/7x1/3 x 9 =40/7
40/7 is the equivalent fraction by multiplying multiple fractions and whole numbers such as 2/3, 5, 4/7, 1/3 and 9.
Multiplying Multiple Positive and Negative Fractions
The below solved example with step by step calculation may help users to know how to find the equivalent fraction by multiplying multiple whole numbers, positive and negative fractions (with unlike or different denominators) 1/2, 1/4, -1/3, 7, 1/6, -4 and 2/5.
Problem
Find the product of positive and negative fractions (with unlike or different denominators) and whole numbers 1/2, 1/4, -1/3, 7, 1/6, -4 and 2/5.
step 1 Address formula and input values.
Input values:
1/2,1/4,-1/3, 7 ,1/6, -4 ,2/5
1/2x1/4x-1/3x 7 x1/6x -4 x2/5 = ?
step 2 Convert the whole numbers to fractions, if any
7 =7/1
-4 = -4/1
step 3 Arrange all the numbers as fractions.
1/2x1/4x-1/3x7/1x1/6x-4/1x2/5
step 4 Multiply all the numerators
If the count of negative numbers is odd, then the result is negative.
If the count of negative numbers is even, then the result is positive.
= 1 x 1 x -1 x 7 x 1 x -4 x 2
= 56
step 5 Multiply all the denominators
= 2 x 4 x 3 x 1 x 6 x 1 x 5
= 720
step 6 Rewrite and simplify the fraction using steps 3 and 4
=56/720
=7/90
1/2x1/4x-1/3x7/1x1/6x-4/1x2/5=7/90
7/90 is the equivalent fraction by multiplying multiple whole numbers, positive and negative fractions (with unlike or different denominators) 1/2, 1/4, -1/3, 7, 1/6, -4 and 2/5.
Two or More Fractions and Mixed Numbers Multiplication
The below solved example for multiplication between two or more fractions, mixed numbers and whole numbers. The fraction numbers include regular, irregular, negative or positive fractions with same or unlike denominators. The below step by step work guides how to find equivalent fraction for multiplying multiple fractions, mixed and whole numbers 1/3, 3/5, 6, 7(4/9), 5(5/6) and 4/3.
Problem
Find the product of multiple fractions, mixed and whole numbers 1/3, 3/5, 6, 7(4/9), 5(5/6), 4/3.
Step by step workout
step 1 Address formula and input values.
Input values:
1/3,3/5, 6 , 74/9, 5 5/6,4/3
1/3x3/5x 6 x 74/9x 5 5/6x4/3= ?
step 2 Convert the whole numbers to fractions, if any
6 =6/1
step 3 Convert mixed fractions to fractions and rewrite as below
7 4/9= ((7 x 9) + 4)/9= 67/9
5 5/6= ((5 x 6) + 5)/6= 35/6
step 4 Arrange all the numbers as fractions.
1/3x3/5 x 6/1 x 67/9x 35/6x4/3
step 5 Multiply all the numerators
= 1 x 3 x 6 x 67 x 35 x 4
= 168840
step 6 Multiply all the denominators
= 3 x 5 x 1 x 9 x 6 x 3
= 2430
step 6 Rewrite and simplify the fraction using steps 5 and 6
=168840/2430
=1876/27
1/3x3/5x 6 x 74/9x 5 5/6x4/3=1876/27
1876/27 is the equivalent fraction by multiplying multiple fractions, mixed and whole numbers 1/3, 3/5, 6, 7(4/9), 5(5/6) and 4/3.
