• There are 3 simple steps to multiply fractions

  1. Multiply the top numbers (the numerators).

  Example:1/2 × 2/5

  Step 1. Multiply the top numbers:

  1/2 × 2/5  =  1 × 2   =  2 

  Step 2. Multiply the bottom numbers:

  1/2 × 2/5  =  1 × 2/2 × 5  =  2/10

  Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

  2/10 = 1/5
