I forgot how to Multiply fractions! 1/27 * 5/1 = ??

Answer 1

Multiply (1/27)(5/1)

First: combine the numerators & the denominators.

(1*5)/(27*1)

5/27

Answer 2

Its simple. Just multiply the tops and the denominators separately.
In your case,
1 and 5 are the top portions of the fraction, whereas 27 and 1 are your denominators.
So, by solving 1 x 5 and 27 x 1, you'll get 5 as the top number and 27 as the denominator - hence the answer 5/27.

Answer 3

to ADD fractions, you must use the common denominator, but to MULTIPLY fractions, you just multiply straight across and simplify the answer if possible (reduce it):

1/27 X 5/1

1 X 5 = 5

27 X 1 = 27


your answer is 5/27 (it cannot be further reduced)

Answer 4

Simply multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Using yiour example, multiply 1 and 5 which gives 5, and then multiply 27 and 1 which gives 27. Therefore, your answer is 5/27.
QED

Answer 5

5/27

Answer 6

You multiply the numerators (upper numbers) together, and the denominators (lower numbers) together.
(1/27) * (5/1) = (1*5)/(27*1) = 5/27.
That's about as easy as a fraction multiplication can be.

Answer 7

1/27*5= 5/27 (just multiply the numbers above)
1*5=5
27*1=27

You do not cross multiply. That's for division

Answer 8

1/27*5/1 = 5/27

multiply the top terms
then multiply the bottom terms.

Answer 9

5/27

Answer 10

you multiply the numerators and divide by product of denominators

1*5/(27*1)= 5/27
