  1. California Standards NS2.1 Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of positive fractions and explain why a particular operation was used for a given situation. Also covered: NS2.4, NS2.2

  2. Recall that multiplication can be written as repeated addition. For example, 3  5 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15. You can use repeated addition to multiply a whole number by a fraction.

  3. 2 Think: How much is of 6? Use multiplication to find a fraction of a number. 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 6  + + + = + + 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 12 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 = 1 Example 1: Transportation Application In 2001, the car toll on the George Washington Bridge was $6.00. In 1995 the toll was 2 of that toll. 3 What was the toll in 1995? + + + + + 1 1 Simplify 1 1 Write the fraction as a decimal. = $4.00 The George Washington Bridge toll for a car was $4.00 in 1995.

  4. Example 2A: Multiplying Fractions Multiply. Write the answer in simplest form. 3 12  4 3 12 3  = Write 12 as a fraction. 12  4 1 4 3 Divide a numerator and denominator by their GCD, 4. 12 3 = 1 4 1 9 Multiply numerators. Multiply denominators. Simplify. = = 9 1 Remember! Use the GCD of a numerator and denominator to simplify before multiplying.
