Visualizing Fractions in Multiplication

Visualizing fractions simply refers to making models of fractions. This visualization helps to find the answer in the multiplication of fractions. There are three steps to do this.

1. Draw a figure to model the fractions. It can be a square, rectangle or circle. It depends on your choice.
2. Divide the figure into equal parts vertically and color some parts of it depending on the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction.
3. Divide the figure into equal parts horizontally and color some parts of it depending on the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction.

How To Multiply Fractions

After visualizing the fractions, you can now start solving. To multiply, just multiply the numerators across and the denominators across. Simplify, if needed.

Model:

Let us now visualize the given above. To start, below are the guides in doing the model.

• Draw a rectangle.
• Show ‌7⁄9‌ by dividing it vertically into 9 equal parts, then shade the 7 parts.
• Show ⅝ by dividing it horizontally into 8 equal parts, then shade 5 of them.

I attached the image with the model.

Solution:

‌7⁄9‌ × ⅝ = ‌35⁄72‌

(Go back to the model, you can see that the answer is correct because there are 35 double shaded parts as the numerator and the total number of equal parts is 72 as the denominator.)
