Worksheet Overview

This activity is about multiplying fractions.

 

Example

Multiply these fractions.

 

4 x 2  
5 8

 

 4 x 2  = 8  
5 x 8 40


Remember to simplify fractions if they have a common factor. 

 

In this example, the highest common factor of 8 and 40 is 8 so we can divide both numerator and denominator by 8.

 

Answer

8/40 = 1/5

 

In this activity, we need to reduce all fractions to their simplified form but leave them as top-heavy, or improper.
