Study.
Remember Multiplication basics:
To Start:
- always make whole numbers into fractions by using the denominator 1
- 5 = 5/1
- Always make mixed numbers into improper fractions (ex. 3 3/5)
- multiply whole number by denominator ( 5 x 3 = 15)
- add numerator to product ( 15 + 3 = 18)
- put sum over denominator ( 3 3/5 = 18/5)
- Simplify before you multiply
- look for numerators that have a common factor with a denominator
- Divide both numerator and denominator by same factor.
- Continue until there are no common factors between any numerator and denominator

- Multiply the top times the top (numerator times numerator)
- Multiply bottom times bottom (denominator time denominator)
- Same as multiplication for whole and mixed numbers.
- DROP, SWITCH,FLIP
- Drop the 1st number (on left) -> use the same number
- Switch division to multiplication
- Flip 2nd number (top to bottom, bottom to top )
- Continue with multiplication

now multiply: 5 x 5 = 25
6 x 3 = 18
25/18
