class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>What fraction of the watermelon do these slices represent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">We have 5 slices of one-fourth of a watermelon. This means we have 5 \u00d7 $\\frac{1}{4}$ of a watermelon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Now, to find 5 \u00d7 14 we can add 14 repeatedly for 5 times. That is,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">5 \u00d7 $\\frac{1}{4} = 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 14 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 14 = \\frac{5}{4} = 1\\frac{1}{4}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">So, 5 quarter slices of a watermelon represent $\\frac{5}{4}$ or $1\\frac{1}{4}$ of the watermelon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">However, the repeated addition that we used will not always be a feasible way of calculating the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-properties-of-multiplying-fractions\">Properties of Multiplying Fractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">When you multiply two fractions, the product of their numerators becomes the numerator of the final product, whereas the product of the denominators becomes the denominator of the final product.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">If the product of two fractions is 1, they are said to be the multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of each other. For example, $\\frac{4}{7}$ and $\\frac{7}{4}$ are multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of each other because $\\frac{4 \\times 7}{7 \\times 4}$ = $\\frac{28}{28}$ = 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Multiplying a non-zero fraction by 1 gives the product as the fraction itself. That is $\\frac{4}{7} \\times 1 = \\frac{4}{7}$.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-solved-examples\">Solved Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 1: <\/strong>Solve: $\\frac{4}{6} \\times \\frac{3}{2}$ (Multiplying Two Fractions)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Solution: $\\frac{4}{6} \\times \\frac{3}{2} = \\frac{4 \\times 3}{6 \\times 2} = \\frac{12}{12}$ = 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 2: <\/strong>Solve: $12 \\times \\frac{3}{4}$ (Multiplying Whole Number with Fraction)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Solution: $12 \\times \\frac{3}{4} = \\frac{12 \\times 3}{4} = \\frac{36}{4} = 9$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 3: <\/strong>Solve: 5$\\frac{1}{2} \\times 2\\frac{1}{4}$ (Multiplying Two Mixed Numbers)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Solution: 5$\\frac{1}{2} \\times 2\\frac{1}{4} = \\frac{(2 \\times 5) + 1}{2} + \\frac{(2 \\times 4) + 1}{4} = \\frac{11}{2} \\times \\frac{9}{4} = \\frac{99}{8} = 12\\frac{3}{8}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Example 4:<\/strong> A group of 3 friends equally divided a pizza among themselves. Later 3 more friends joined them. So, they decided to give half of their share to the new joiners.

group:<\/strong> 3 friends shared one pizza equally<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Fraction of pizza shared by each friend =&nbsp; $\\frac{1}{3}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"
