Erm.
This probably would be easy for you to answer. Well, you see, we're learning fractions. I'm the kind who doesn't pay attention in class. So.. well.. I know how to do it. the problem is, that the way my teacher tells us to do it is, well, a little.. hard for me to do. And confusing. So, my question is, can anybody give me their way of doing a multiplication problem with fractions? This is 6th grade math. It should be easy for you.. >.< Like this problem: 2/4 x 5/22 = __ My way is a little bit.. hard. so, I really want to have an easy lesson of doing it, so it could be easier for me.  Thank you. |

Edit because my last post made no sense:
Yeah, like gotnoheart said, Vietrice, you multiplied wrong. 4 x 22 = 88  Let me draw you a picture:
