How Do You Multiply Mixed Numbers?

Multiplying mixed numbers may seem tricky at first, but it can be made easier by following a few key steps:

Convert the Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions – Remember, an improper fraction is one where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

Multiply the Fractions – This involves multiplying the numerators to get the numerator of the result and multiplying the denominators to get the denominator of the result.

Simplify the Result – If possible, reduce the resulting fraction to its simplest form. This may involve converting it back to a mixed number, if it results in an improper fraction.

Now, let’s look at two examples to illustrate these steps.

Example 1 – Multiply 2 1/2 by 1 1/3.

Convert to Improper Fractions – 2 1/2 becomes 5/2 and 1 1/3 becomes 4/3.

Multiply the Fractions – (5/2) x (4/3) = 20/6.

Simplify the Result – 20/6 simplifies to 10/3, which is 3 1/3 when converted back to a mixed number.

So, 2 1/2 multiplied by 1 1/3 equals 3 1/3.

Example 2 – Multiply 3 3/4 by 2 2/3.

Convert to Improper Fractions – 3 3/4 becomes 15/4 and 2 2/3 becomes 8/3.

Multiply the Fractions – (15/4) x (8/3) = 120/12.

Simplify the Result – 120/12 simplifies to 10.

So, 3 3/4 multiplied by 2 2/3 equals 10.
