Multiplying/Dividing Fractions

Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

Multiplying

Multiplying Fractions is just multiplying the numerators and denominators. For instance, $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{1 * 2}{2 * 3}$ so the answer is $\frac{2}{6}$ or $\frac{1}{3}$.

Dividing

Dividing Fractions is done by multiplying the first fractions by the second fraction's numerator and denomitor flipped. For example, $\frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$ is the same as 1 $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{3}{2}$ so the final answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.
