Fractions (IV)

Multiplying fractions, built on multiplying whole numbers: a whole number times a fraction, a fraction of a number, and a fraction times a fraction; cancelling before multiplying; changing mixed numbers to improper fractions first; multiplying up to three numbers (at most one mixed number); seeing that multiplying by less than 1 makes the answer smaller; estimation and word problems.

Sample questions (in Chinese)

Question 1計算。(答案要約至最簡;大於 1 的寫成帶分數。)

3 × 14 =

Answer and explanation

答案:3 × 14 = 34

為甚麼?3 個 14 即是 14 連加 3 次,共有 1 × 3 = 3 個 14。整數可以寫成分母是 1 的分數:3 = 31。分子乘分子,分母乘分母:3 × 11 × 4 = 34。

Question 224的 512 是多少?

24 × 512 =

Answer and explanation

答案:24 × 512 = 10

為甚麼?求 24 的 512,即是計算 24 × 512。先把 24 平均分成 12 份:24 ÷ 12 = 2;再取 5 份:2 × 5 = 10。

Question 3計算。(答案要約至最簡;大於 1 的寫成帶分數。)

610 × 26 =

Answer and explanation

答案:610 × 26 = 15

為甚麼?分子乘分子,分母乘分母:6 × 210 × 6 = 1260 = 15。(也可以先約分,再相乘。)

Question 4計算。(答案要約至最簡;大於 1 的寫成帶分數。)

4 34 × 3 =

Answer and explanation

答案:4 34 × 3 = 14 14

為甚麼?先把帶分數化為假分數:4 34 = 194。整數可以寫成分母是 1 的分數:3 = 31。分子乘分子,分母乘分母:19 × 34 × 1 = 574 = 14 14。
