 What I Need to Know

The module presents the following:

Content standard
 The learner demonstrates understanding of the four fundamental
operations involving fractions and decimals.
Performance standard
 The learner is able to apply. the four fundamental operations
involving fractions and decimals in Mathematical problems and real-
life situations.
Most essential learning competency
 The learner multiplies simple fractions and mixed fractions.
Competency Code: M6NS-1b-90.2

What I Know

Add the following fractions. Reduce your answer to lowest term.

1. + = 4. +5 =

2. + = 5. + =

3. 3 +2 =

1
Subtract the following fractions. Reduce your answer to lowest term.

1. - = 4. - =

2. 5 -2 = 5. 9 -3 =

3. 4 -2 =

What’s In

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and then multiply the

denominators. Use the greatest common factor to reduce the product to
the simplest or lowest term.
9 5𝑥9 45
Example: x = =
0 x 0 0

45 45 ÷15 3
= 60 ÷15 =
0

Cancellation method may also be used as a short-cut to the

multiplication process if there is a common factor between the
numerators and denominators.

x 5 and 10 have a common factor, that is, 5

What I Have Learned

In multiplying simple fractions:

1. Multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator
by the denominator.
2. Express the product in simplest form.
In multiplying mixed fractions:
1. Change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.
2. Do the cancellation method by using the GCF of any pair of the
numerator (s) and denominator(s).
3 Multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator
by the denominator.
4. Express the product in simplest form.
