i need help with my math :( im horrable with it i cant do divideing fractions nor multiply and i dont know most of my multiples

vladimir1956 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply the fractions, like

$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{9}$

Multiply the top,

then multiply the bottom.

$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1 \times 1}{4 \times 9} = \frac{1}{36}$

Try to use a calculator if you aren't arithmetic heavy, but I suggest you to try to remember them because they are going to be helpful for courses like Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, etc.

To divide fractions, like

$\frac{ \frac{1}{5} }{ \frac{1}{8} }$
