Study Notes

Multiplication of Fractions

  • (1 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{8} = 1 \frac{1}{8})
  • (\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4})
  • (1 \frac{4}{7} \times 2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{26}{7} = 3 \frac{5}{7})

Fractions of Quantity

  • From 3/4 of an apple pie, Zoe will eat ( \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{8} ) of the whole pie.

Area of Rectangles

  • Area of a rectangle (length ( \frac{4}{5} ), width ( \frac{1}{3} )):
    • ( \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{15} ) sq. units
  • Area of a rectangle (length ( \frac{7}{5} ), width ( \frac{1}{3} )):
    • ( \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{15} ) sq. units

Finding Missing Values

  • ( \frac{1}{2} \times x = \frac{2}{10} )
    • Solving gives ( x = \frac{2}{5} )
  • ( \frac{3}{4} \times y = \frac{21}{32} )
    • Solving gives ( y = \frac{7}{8} )

Common Fraction Applications

  • Marteen plans to paint (\frac{2}{3}) of her room, intending to paint (\frac{1}{4}) of that before lunch:
    • Total painted before lunch: ( \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{6} )

Photo Resizing

  • Reducing a photo’s size requires multiplying by a fraction less than one whole.
  • Expanding a photo’s size requires multiplying by a fraction greater than one whole.

Bus Route Distance

  • Gia's school bus route is (5 \frac{1}{2}) miles; the return route is (1 \frac{3}{5}) times longer:
    • Length of the bus route home: (8 \frac{4}{5}) miles.
