Multiplying Fractions Practice

Read each question carefully and solve the multiplication problems involving fractions. Simplify your answers to the lowest terms where possible. Show your work for full credit.

Multiply the following proper fractions. Write your answer in simplest form.

1. \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = \)  

2. \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{6} = \)  

3. \(\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \)  

4. \(\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{2}{5} = \)  

Multiply the fraction by the whole number. Show your work:

5. \(5 \times \frac{2}{3}\)

6. \(\frac{3}{8} \times 4\)

Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, then multiply. Simplify your answer.

7. \(1\frac{1}{2} \times 2\frac{1}{3} = \)  

8. \(3\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = \)  

9. Which of the following is the correct product of \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{10}{3}\)?

10. A recipe calls for \(2\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour. If you want to make \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the recipe, how much flour do you need?

11. The fraction bar below represents one whole. Shade the bar to show \(\frac{1}{2}\) of \(\frac{1}{4}\). Then write the product.
