In this lesson, we will learn to multiply and divide fractions - in the easiest possible way! Problems like these can often appear to be difficult. What we will learn to do, however, is to simplify the problems so that they are actually quite easy to do. So, the first thing you learn to do will be to simplify the fraction problems. Then, doing them will be a piece of cake.

Also, in completing these lessons, you will find that it's easy to learn but hard to remember. Because you have these lessons, however, you will always be able to recall the correct way to solve math problems by returning to these lessons and relearning them will help fix them in your memory. Repetition is quite often necessary in learning and remembering new things.

By learning (and later reviewing) the multiplying and dividing procedures in this lesson, you will be in command of valuable skills that you will use throughout your life.
