CHAPTER 1










                                                              Fractions


















                                                       Fraction Multiplication


            Multiplication of fractions is the easiest of all fraction operations. All you
            have to do is multiply straight across—multiply the numerators (the top
            numbers) and the denominators (the bottom numbers).


                 Example

                 2 4    2   4  8
                      ¼     ¼    :
                 3 5    3   5  15



                 Practice

                     7 1
                 1:      ¼
                     6 4
                     8 6
                 2:      ¼
                     15 5


                                                                                           1
