    SOL 6.

    4 Multiplying Fractions
    The Meaning of Multiplication:
    Multiplication is repeatedly adding the same number over and over again. Multiplication
    makes repeated addition go much faster.
    Examples: 2+2+2 = 2x3 = 6
    7+7+7+7+7+7 = 7x6 = 42

    Thinking about Multiplication:

    SOL 6.4 Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

    Expression It is read

    27

    It means

    What it looks like

    Practical Problems:
    1. The Andersons had pizza for dinner, and there was one-half of a pizza left over.
    Their three boys each ate one-third of the leftovers for a late night snack. How
    much of the original pizza did each boy get for snack?
    Answer: One-third of one-half of a pizza is equal to
    one-sixth of a pizza.

    2. Andrea and Allison are partners in a relay race. Each girl will run half the total
    distance. On race day, Andrea stops for water after running one-third of her half
    of the race. What portion of the race had Andrea run when she stopped for
    water?
    Answer:

    3. Mrs. Jones has 24 gold stickers that she bought to put on perfect test papers.
    She took half of the stickers out of the package, and then she used one-third of
    that half on the papers. What fraction of the 24 stickers did she use on the
    perfect test papers?
    SOL 6.4 Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

    Answer: One-third of one-half of the 24 stickers is one-sixth of the 24 stickers.

    SOL 6.4 Dividing Fractions


    The Meaning of Division:
    Division is repeatedly subtracting the same number over and over again. Division
    makes repeated subtraction go much faster. Another way to think of division is to fairly
    share with others, to divvy up, or to split equally.
    Examples: 6-2-2-2 = 62 = 3
    42-7-7-7-7-7-7 = 427 = 6

    Whats the relationship between multiplying and dividing?

    Multiplication and division are inverse relations


    One operation undoes the other
    Division by a number yields the same result as multiplication by its reciprocal
    (inverse). For example:

    Thinking about Division:

    SOL 6.4 Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

    Expression It is read

    29

    It means

    What it looks like

    Practical Problems:
    1. The Andersons had half of a pizza left after dinner. Their sons typical serving
    size is one-third pizza. How many of these servings will he eat if he finishes the
    pizza?
    How to solve: If pizza is one serving, how many servings are in the pizza
    we are starting with in this problem?
    Since is less than , our solution will be more than one
    serving.
    Since the pizza we have is less than (or two servings), the
    solution will be less than 2 servings.
    Answer: We can portion off one full serving, leaving 1/6 of the original pizza.
    That sixth is of a serving. We have a total of 1 servings in our half
    pizza, that are each pizza in size.
