Step-by-step solution for: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions Worksheets with Answer Key
Let's solve each of the 12 problems step by step. We'll handle multiplication and division of fractions, simplifying where possible.
---
- Simplify $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$
- Now: $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{15}{13} = \frac{1 \times 15}{3 \times 13} = \frac{15}{39}$
- Simplify: $\frac{15}{39} = \frac{5}{13}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 3)
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{5}{13}}$
---
- First simplify both fractions:
- $\frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12}$
- $\frac{36}{40} = \frac{9}{10}$
- Division: $\frac{5}{12} \div \frac{9}{10} = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{10}{9} = \frac{50}{108}$
- Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 2 → $\frac{25}{54}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{25}{54}}$
---
- Simplify $\frac{21}{63} = \frac{1}{3}$
- So: $\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{30} = \frac{3}{10}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{3}{10}}$
---
- Invert and multiply: $\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{27}{20} = \frac{4 \times 27}{3 \times 20} = \frac{108}{60}$
- Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 12 → $\frac{9}{5}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{9}{5}}$ or $1\frac{4}{5}$
---
- Invert and multiply: $\frac{14}{33} \times \frac{99}{56}$
- Simplify:
- 14 and 56: $14 \div 14 = 1$, $56 \div 14 = 4$
- 33 and 99: $33 \div 33 = 1$, $99 \div 33 = 3$
- So: $\frac{1}{1} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$
---
- Simplify $\frac{14}{64} = \frac{7}{32}$
- Now: $\frac{8}{3} \times \frac{7}{32} = \frac{56}{96}$
- Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 8 → $\frac{7}{12}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{7}{12}}$
---
- Multiply: $\frac{20 \times 11}{3 \times 9} = \frac{220}{27}$
- Convert to mixed number: $220 \div 27 = 8$ remainder $4$, so $8\frac{4}{27}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{220}{27}}$ or $8\frac{4}{27}$
---
- Simplify:
- $\frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}$
- $\frac{7}{14} = \frac{1}{2}$
- So: $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}$
---
- Simplify $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$
- Now: $\frac{5}{3} \div \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{20}{3}$
- As mixed number: $6\frac{2}{3}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{20}{3}}$ or $6\frac{2}{3}$
---
- Simplify:
- $\frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$
- $\frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}$
- Now: $\frac{3}{2} \div \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{15}{6} = \frac{5}{2}$
- Or $2\frac{1}{2}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}$ or $2\frac{1}{2}$
---
- Simplify $\frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$
- Now: $\frac{17}{12} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{17}{12} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{34}{12} = \frac{17}{6}$
- Mixed number: $2\frac{5}{6}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{17}{6}}$ or $2\frac{5}{6}$
---
- Cancel common factors:
- 5 in numerator and denominator cancel
- So: $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{21}{1} = \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2}$
- Or $3\frac{1}{2}$
✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{7}{2}}$ or $3\frac{1}{2}$
