OBJECTIVESBy the end of this lesson, you will be able to: Express a given positive mixed number as an improper fraction and a given positiveimproper fraction as a mixed number Model the process of multiplying fractions using models and numerically Model the process of dividing fractions using models and numerically Apply rules for multiplying and dividing positive fractions, including mixednumbers Solve an expression involving fractions and apply the order of operations Solve problems involving the multiplication and division of fractions and mixednumbersGLOSSARYDenominator – the bottom number ofa fraction, the number of equal sizedparts a whole has been divided into.Factors – the numbers that aremultiplied to give a product. A factorof a given number will divide into thegiven number with no remainder leftover. For example, the 4 and 5 arefactors of 20.Greatest Common Factor (GCF) –the largest factor that is common to aset of numbers. Example, the GCF of12 and 18 is 6 because 6 divides into12 twice and into 18 three times.Improper Fraction – a fraction inwhich the numerator that is greaterthan the denominator.Mixed number – a number representedby a whole number and a fraction.Multiple – a number that is the productof a natural number and anothernumber. For example, the multiplesof 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.Numerator – the top number of afraction, the number of pieces beingconsidered.Simplify – reducing a fraction intoits lowest terms. This is done bydividing both the numerator anddenominator by the GCF.
Mathematics Grade 8Preview/Review Concepts W1 - Lesson 3W1 – Lesson 3: Multiplying and Dividing FractionsMaterials required: Paper, Pencil, and CalculatorReview: Converting between Improper Fractions and MixedNumbersTo change a mixed number into an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by thewhole number and add the numerator. This value becomes the numerator in the improperfraction. The denominator in the mixed number is the same denominator you use in theimproper fraction.First, multiply thedenominator by thewhole numberFor example: 21 3 2 1 7 333Second, add thenumerator.To change an improper fraction into a mixed number, reverse the process outlined above.Determine how many times the denominator goes into the numerator and this valuebecomes the whole number. The remainder becomes the numerator in the fraction. Thedenominator remains the same.For example:9 2 and there is one left over491 244This is the remainder.Developed by Alberta Distance Learning Centre .1
Mathematics Grade 8Preview/Review Concepts W1 - Lesson 3Part 1: Multiplying FractionsWhen you multiply fractions, what you are really doing is finding a fraction of a fraction.Fractions can be multiplied using the area model.Use the area model to multiply2 1 .3 5First use a square to represent2vertically.3Then, represent1horizontally on the same square.5The shaded squares that overlap represent the numerator of the answer. The totalnumber of parts in the square represents the denominator.In this case, the numerator would be 2, and the denominator would be equal to 15.Thus,2 1 2 .3 5 152 .

Mathematics Grade 8Preview/Review Concepts W1 - Lesson 3When multiplying fractions numerically, remember these steps:Step 1: Convert any mixed numbers into improper fractions.Step 2: Simplify the numerators and denominators. To do this, divide the numerators anddenominators by a common factor.Step 3: Multiply the numerators.Step 4: Multiply the denominators.Step 5: If an improper fraction results, change it into a mixed number.Example 13 1 3 1 4 2 4 23 8Example 21 37 3 2 3 43 47 31 31 4Cancel out the 3's.7 11 47 43 14 Developed by Alberta Distance Learning Centre .3
