Page 2: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
This page focuses on multiplication and division of fractions, including complex scenarios with stacked fractions and whole numbers.
Definition: When dividing fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
Example: When multiplying fractions like 8/3 × 21/7, simplify before multiplying to avoid large numbers.
Highlight: For stacked fractions, pay attention to the placement of the equals sign relative to the fraction bar.
Vocabulary:
- Reciprocal: The inverse of a fraction (flip numerator and denominator)
- Stacked fraction: A complex fraction with fractions in both numerator and denominator
Quote: "La barre de la fraction désigné par le '=' joue comme une barrière" (The fraction bar designated by '=' acts as a barrier)
