Okay, now I'm going to show you how to find
the product of fractions. Let's take three
randomly chosen fractions; three eighths times
one fifth times one half. To find the product
of fractions we just multiply all the numerators
and divide by the product of the denominators.
Three times one times one is just three. Eight
times five is forty times two is eighty. And
as you can see the solution to the product
of fractions is just the product of their
individual numerators divided by the product
of the individual denominators. The answer
is three over eighty. Okay, I'm going to show
you another example using the same method
for multiplying fractions. Let's take three
fractions; three halves multiplied by two
fifths multiplied by one fourth. Just like
in the first example I'm going to multiply
all the numerators and divide by the product
of the denominators. Three times two is six
times one is six. Two times five is ten times
four is forty. So again, the product of three
fractions is the product of the individual
numerators divided by the product of the individual
denominators.
