Multiplication In general, when we multiply fractions, we multiply the two numerators (the top numbers) to make the new numerator, and multiply the two denominators to make the new denominator. For example: 7 4 ---- * ----- 5 3 7 * 4 = -------- 5 * 3 28 = ------- 15 Division 7 4 ---- / ----- 5 3 We can change this to multiplication by simply changing the second fraction like, 7 3 ---- * ----- 5 4 7 * 3 = -------- 5 * 4 21 = ------- 20
