Example Questions

Example Question #241 : How To Multiply Fractions

A recipe calls for $\frac{1}{4}$ of a cup of flour. If you double the recipe, how much flour do you need?

Possible Answers:

$1\frac{2}{4}\ cups$

$\frac{3}{4}\ cup$

$2\frac{1}{4}\ cups$

$\frac{1}{4}\ cup$

$\frac{1}{2}\ cup$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{2}\ cup$

Explanation:

When you multiply a fraction by a whole number, you first want to make the whole number into a fraction. You do that by putting the whole number over $\small 1.$ Then multiply the numerator by the numerator and denominator by the denominator.

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{2}{4}$

Reduce to find your final answer.

$\frac{2}{4}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$
