Worksheet Overview

Look at this diagram which shows two and one fifth of a rectangle shaded.

That's 2 whole rectangles and one fifth of a rectangle.

 

Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1  Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1  Fraction rectangle 1/5

 

Let's multiply two and one fifth by 3.

This will give 3 lots of two and one fifth.

 

2 1 + 2 1 + 2 1 = 6 3
5 5 5 5

 

This gives 6 wholes and three-fifths shaded as shown.

 

Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1  Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1  Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1

Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1  Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1  Fraction rectangle 5/5 = 1

Fraction rectangle 3/5

 

So

3 × 2 1 = 6 3
5 5
