Multiplying Fractions Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library - Free Printable

Let’s solve each multiplication problem step by step. We’ll multiply the fraction by the whole number, then simplify if needed.

Remember:
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, write the whole number as a fraction over 1. Then multiply numerators and denominators. Finally, simplify or convert to mixed number if needed.

1. 3/4 × 2 = ?
→ 3/4 × 2/1 = (3×2)/(4×1) = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

2. 3/5 × 3 = ?
→ 3/5 × 3/1 = 9/5 = 1 4/5

3. 5/2 × 4 = ?
→ 5/2 × 4/1 = 20/2 = 10

4. 3/4 × 3 = ?
→ 3/4 × 3/1 = 9/4 = 2 1/4

5. 1/8 × 3 = ?
→ 1/8 × 3/1 = 3/8 → already simplified → 3/8

6. 2/5 × 5 = ?
→ 2/5 × 5/1 = 10/5 = 2

7. 1/3 × 3 = ?
→ 1/3 × 3/1 = 3/3 = 1

8. 4/5 × 4/5 = ? ← Wait! This is multiplying two fractions, not a fraction by a whole number. But looking at the worksheet title “Multiplying fractions color by number” and the pattern, maybe it’s a typo? Let’s check the original image again — actually, in the list, #8 says “4/5 x 4/5”. That’s correct per the sheet. So we do:

→ 4/5 × 4/5 = (4×4)/(5×5) = 16/25 → 16/25

But wait — the instruction says “Multiplying fractions color by number.” And most problems are fraction × whole number. Let me double-check the user’s uploaded image description — yes, problem 8 is written as “4/5 x 4/5”. So we’ll go with that.

Actually, looking back at the OCR text provided:
“8. 4/5 x 4/5 = Color this answer: purple”

So yes, it’s fraction × fraction. Okay.

9. 5/8 × 4 = ?
→ 5/8 × 4/1 = 20/8 = 5/2 = 2 1/2

10. 3/5 × 5 = ?
→ 3/5 × 5/1 = 15/5 = 3

11. 1/3 × 4 = ?
→ 1/3 × 4/1 = 4/3 = 1 1/3

12. 1/3 × 12 = ?
→ 1/3 × 12/1 = 12/3 = 4

13. 1/5 × 4 = ?
→ 1/5 × 4/1 = 4/5 → 4/5

14. 3/5 × 4 = ?
→ 3/5 × 4/1 = 12/5 = 2 2/5

15. 2/5 × 1/5 = ?
→ 2/5 × 1/5 = 2/25 → 2/25

16. 5/4 × 4/5 = ?
→ (5×4)/(4×5) = 20/20 = 1

17. 4 × 5/6 = ?
→ 4/1 × 5/6 = 20/6 = 10/3 = 3 1/3

18. 1/3 × 3 = ?
→ Same as #7 → 3/3 = 1

19. 1/5 × 5 = ?
→ 1/5 × 5/1 = 5/5 = 1

20. 3/5 × 4 = ?
→ Same as #14 → 12/5 = 2 2/5

21. 3/5 × 2/5 = ?
→ (3×2)/(5×5) = 6/25 → 6/25

22. 15 × 4/5 = ?
→ 15/1 × 4/5 = 60/5 = 12

23. 6 × 3/5 = ?
→ 6/1 × 3/5 = 18/5 = 3 3/5

24. 5/6 × 6 = ?
→ 5/6 × 6/1 = 30/6 = 5

25. 1/3 × 5 = ?
→ 1/3 × 5/1 = 5/3 = 1 2/3
