Multiply and divide fractions
Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions, then multiply...

Example:
13
• 577
You can either multiply numerators by numerators, then denominators by denominators…then reduce...
= 5721
÷33
=197
=257
…or you can cross cancel and then multiply...

Example:
Change division into multiplication of the reciprocal (after you change mixed numbers into improper fractions)...
7÷(−323)
=71
÷ –113
=71

Example: This is called a complex fraction (fractions within fractions). Keep in mind that the fraction bar really means division. So the problem could be written like the following...
1−38
25
+47
(1 – 38) ÷ (
25
+ 47)
= 175272
Simplify each part inside of
the parentheses...
(88
– 38) ÷ (
35 +
35)
(58) ÷ (
3435
) Now change this to multiplication
