    Cynthia just got the recipe for her grandmother’s famous Italian bread. The recipe makes 3 loaves of bread, which is more than Cynthia wants right now. Cynthia only wants to make 2 loaves of bread so she is going to need  2 3  of all of the ingredients listed in the recipe. The recipe calls for  4 1 2  tablespoons of olive oil along with 7 other ingredients. How can Cynthia figure out how much olive oil she should use to make only 2 loaves of bread?
    ::辛西娅刚刚得到了她祖母著名的意大利面包的食谱。 食谱制造了三块面包,这比辛西娅现在想要的要多得多。 辛西娅只想要两块面包,所以她需要食谱中列出的所有成分中的23个。 食谱需要412个橄榄油和7个其他成分。 辛西娅如何知道她应该用多少橄榄油来做两块面包呢?

    In this concept, you will learn how to multiply fractions and mixed numbers.
    ::在这个概念中,你会学会如何乘以分数和混合数字。

    Multiplying Fractions and Mixed Numbers
    ::乘数和混合数字

    Recall that in a fraction, the number written above the bar is the  numerator  and the number written below the bar is the  denominator . When multiplying fractions, you will multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
    ::回想到,在一个分数中,在横条上方写的数字是分子,在横条下写的数字是分母。在乘数分数时,将乘数乘数,再乘数分母。

    To multiply fractions:
    ::乘以分数 :

    1. Multiply the numerators to find the numerator of your answer. Multiply the denominators to find the denominator of your answer.
      ::乘乘数以找到您答案的分子。乘数分母以找到您答案的分母 。
    2. Simplify  your answer. Rewrite as a  mixed number  if necessary.
      ::简化您的答复。 如有必要, 重写为混合数 。

    Here is an example.
    ::举一个例子。

    Find the product of  1 2 4 5 .
    ::查找1 2 4 5 的产物。

    First, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Note that you do not need to find a  common denominator  first!
    ::首先, 乘乘数数并乘数分母 。 请注意, 您不需要先找到共同的分母 !

    1 2 4 5 = 1 4 2 5 = 4 10

    Next, simplify your answer. The   of 4 and 10 is 2, so  divide  by 4 and 10 by 2 to simplify the fraction.
    ::接下来,简化你的回答。4和10是2, 所以除以4和10乘以2来简化分数。

    4 10 = 4 ÷ 2 10 ÷ 2 = 2 5

    The answer is  1 2 4 5 = 2 5 .
    ::答案是 1 2 4 5 = 2 5 。

    You can also multiply fractions and  whole numbers . You will first need to turn the whole number into a fraction by writing it over 1.
    ::您也可以乘以分数和整数。您首先需要将整数以 1 的写法将整数转换成一个分数。

    Here is an example.
    ::举一个例子。

    Find the product of  5 1 2 .
    ::查找 5 1 2 的产物 。

    First, rewrite 5 as  5 1 .
    ::首先,将5改写为5 1。

    5 1 1 2

    Next, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
    ::接下去,乘乘乘乘数数,乘乘乘分母。

    5 1 1 2 = 5 1 1 2 = 5 2

    Now, simplify your answer. You can rewrite  5 2  as a mixed number.
    ::现在,简化你的回答。你可以重写52,作为一个混合数字。

    5 2 = 2 1 2

    The answer is  5 1 2 = 2 1 2 .
    ::答案是 5 1 2 = 2 2 。

    You can also multiply mixed numbers. Because mixed numbers involve both wholes and parts, multiplying mixed numbers requires an extra step. Before multiplying mixed numbers, you will convert them to  improper fractions .
    ::您也可以乘以混合数字。由于混合数字涉及整数和部件,混合数字的乘法需要额外的一步。在乘以混合数字之前,您将把混合数字转换成不适当的分数。

    To multiply mixed numbers:
    ::乘以混合数字:

    1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
      ::将混合数字转换成不适当的分数。
    2. Multiply the numerators to find the numerator of your answer. Multiply the denominators to find the denominator of your answer.
      ::乘乘数以找到您答案的分子。乘数分母以找到您答案的分母 。
    3. Simplify your answer. Rewrite as a mixed number if necessary.
      ::简化您的答复。 如有必要, 重写为混合数 。

    Here is an example.
    ::举一个例子。

    Find the product of  3 1 2 2 1 3 .
    ::查找3,1,2,2,2,1,3的产物。

    First, rewrite both mixed numbers as improper fractions.
    ::首先,改写两个混合数字,作为不适当的分数。

    3 1 2 = ( 2 3 ) + 1 2 = 7 2 2 1 3 = ( 3 2 ) + 1 3 = 7 3

    Next, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
    ::接下去,乘乘乘乘数数,乘乘乘分母。

    7 2 7 3 = 49 6

    Now, simplify your answer. You can rewrite  49 6  as a mixed number.
    ::现在,简化您的答案。 您可以重写 49 6 作为混合数字 。

    49 6 = 8 1 6
     

    The answer is  3 1 2 2 1 3 = 8 1 6 .
    ::答案是3 1 2 2 1 3 = 8 1 6 。

    Sometimes when you multiply fractions or mixed numbers you will end up with very large numbers. To avoid having to deal with such big numbers, you can simplify before multiplying. To do this, look for common  factors  and divide them out.
    ::有时,当您乘以分数或混合数字时,你最终会以非常大的数字结束。为了避免不得不处理如此大的数字,你可以在乘法之前简化。要做到这一点,可以寻找共同的因素并将其分开。

    Here is an example.
    ::举一个例子。

    Find the product of  2 9 18 30 .
    ::查找2 9 18 30的产物。

    First, write the numerator and the denominator as a product.
    ::首先,将分子和分母写成产品。

    2 9 18 30 = 2 18 9 30

    Next, look for common factors along the diagonals in the numerator and the denominator. First look at 2 and 30. Both 2 and 30 have a factor of 2. Divide both 2 and 30 by 2.
    ::接下来,在分子和分母的对角线上寻找共同因素。首先看2和30,2和30都有2的系数,将2和30除以2除以2。

    2 18 9 30 = 1 18 9 15

    Now, look at 9 and 18. Both 9 and 18 have a factor of 9. Divide both 9 and 18 by 9.
    ::现在,看看9和18,9和18都有9.9的因数,9和18除以9除以9和18除以9。

    1 18 9 15 = 1 2 1 15

    Now, multiply the numbers in the numerator and the numbers in the denominator.
    ::现在,乘以分子中的数字和分母中的数字。

    1 2 1 15 = 2 15

    The answer is  2 9 18 30 = 2 15 .
    ::答案是 2 9 18 30 = 2 15 。
