1
In this video we're going to focus on multiplying fractions.
2
So let's start with a simple example.
3
Let's multiply 3 over 5 by 4 over 7.
4
Now for each of these examples feel free to pause the video and try these problems yourself.
5
See if you can get the answer.
6
So what do we need to do in this problem?
7
How can we multiply these two fractions?
8
When multiplying fractions you need to multiply across.
9
So we're going to multiply 3 and 4 together.
10
3 times 4 is 12.
11
Next, we need to multiply the two denominators together.
12
5 times 7 is 35.
13
And so that's it for this problem.
14
That's all we need to do.
15
And the answer is 12 over 35.
16
Now, it's important to check and see if you could reduce the fraction.
17
And for this example, we can't simplify the fraction.
18
So the final answer is 12 over 35.
19
Now let's try another example.
20
Go ahead and multiply these two fractions.
21
2 over 5 times 3 over 11.
22
So once again, we're going to multiply across.
23
2 times 3 is 6.
24
And then we're going to multiply 5 and 11.
25
5 times 11 is 55.
26
And so this is the answer.
27
We can't simplify this answer.
28
Now let's try some examples where we have to simplify the final answer.
29
So let's multiply 3 over 2 by 4 over 9.
30
Go ahead and try this.
31
3 times 4 is 12.
32
And 2 times 9 is 18.
33
So we get 12 over 18.
34
How can we reduce that fraction?
35
Now, both of these numbers are even, so we can divide 12 and 18 by 2.
36
12 divided by 2 is 6.
37
18 divided by 2 is 9.
38
Now, can we reduce this fraction, or is that the final answer?
39
6 and 9 are both divisible by 3, so we could divide both numbers by 3.
40
6 divided by 3 is 2, 9 divided by 3 is 3.
41
So our final answer is 2 over 3.
42
Now there's another way in which you can get the same answer.
43
So once you got to, let's say this part, you could do it this way.
44
You could say 12 is 6 times 2, and 18 is 6 times 3.
45
So at this point, you can cancel the 6, and this will give you the final answer of 2 over 3.
46
So that's another way in which you could reduce a fraction.
47
Now let's work on another example that's similar to the last one.
48
4 over 3 times 9 over 8.
49
So pause the video and work on this example.
50
So let's multiply across.
51
What is 4 times 9?
52
4 times 9 is 36.
53
And what's 3 times 8?
54
3 times 8 is going to be 24.
55
So how can we reduce 36 over 24?
56
24 and 36 are multiples of 12.
57
12 times 3 is 36, and 12 times 2 is 24.
58
So it really helps to know your multiplication tables.
59
So at this point, we can cancel our 12.
60
And so the final answer is going to be 3 over 2.
61
Now let's talk about what to do when multiplying two fractions
62
that contain large numbers such as this one now what I
63
don't recommend is multiplying across 24 times 45 it's gonna be a big number let's see what
64
that number is gonna be if you multiply across that's gonna give you a thousand
65
and eighty and then if you multiply 27 by 32 that's gonna give you a large number as well.
66
That's going to be 864.
67
So what are you going to do to reduce this fraction?
68
That's not going to be fun and it's going to take a long time.
69
So there has to be an easier way of getting the answer for this problem.
70
And the key is to simplify before you multiply.
71
So, for instance, 28, we can write that as 8 times 3.
72
27, we can write it as 9 times 3, because 9 times 3 is 27.
73
Now, 45, you want to break it down into a number with a 9, so you can cancel this 9.
74
It turns out that 9 times 5 is 45.
75
And 32, we can represent it as 8 times 4.
76
So you want to break down these large numbers into smaller numbers in such a way
77
that you can cancel some of those smaller numbers.
78
So we can cancel an 8, we can cancel a 9, and we can cancel a 3.
79
And our final answer is just going to be 5 over 4.
80
we don't have to simplify any further than this as you
81
can see this second method is a lot easier than the first so
82
if you have large numbers I would avoid multiplying them to get even bigger numbers instead simplify before you multiply
83
so now it's your turn try this 56 over 44 times 55 over 40
84
go ahead and multiply these two fractions.
85
So let's not multiply 56 by 55.
86
Let's avoid that.
87
56, we can write that as 8 times 7.
88
44 is 11 times 4.
89
And 55 is 11 times 5.
90
40 is 8 times 5.
91
So we can cancel an 8.
92
We can cancel an 11.
93
And we can cancel a 5.
94
So the final answer is 7 over 4, and that's it.
95
Now, what if you get a problem that looks like this?
96
What is 8 multiplied by 5 over 3?
97
How can you take a whole number and multiply it by a fraction?
98
The key is to convert the whole number into a fraction.
99
8 is the same as 8 over 1.
100
In this case, 8 and 5, they're not large numbers, so we can multiply across.
101
And we can't really simplify before we multiply in this case.
102
So 8 times 5, that's going to be 40.
103
And then if we multiply 1 and 3, it's going to give us 3.
104
So our answer is 40 over 3 as an improper fraction.
105
Try this one.
106
7 over 6 multiplied by 9.
107
Go ahead and work on that example.
108
So let's rewrite 9 as 9 over 1.
109
Now this one we could simplify before we multiply if we want to.
110
6, we can write that as 3 times 2.
111
And 9 is 3 times 3.
112
So we can cancel a 3.
113
And so we're left with 7 times 3, which is 21 and 2 times 1 which is 2.
114
So the answer is 21 over 2.
115
By the way, if you want more videos on fractions, feel free to check out my next video on dividing fractions.
116
Which I'm going to post a link to that video in the description section of this video that you're currently watching.
117
But now let's get back to our next problem.
118
So let's say if we have 12 over 28 times 18 over 30 times 35 over 27.
119
How can we multiply these three fractions?
120
So go ahead and try this problem.
121
12 we can write
122
that as 6 times 2 28 we could say it's 7 times 4 18 we can write
123
that as 6 times 3
124
but yeah i'm gonna make that 9 times 2 because there's 27 and 27 is divisible by 9
125
30 is 6 times 5, 35 is 7 times 5, and 27 is 9 times 3.
126
So we can cancel a 9, we can cancel a 7,
127
we can cancel a 5, we can cancel a 6,
128
and notice that we can also cancel 4.
129
2 times 2 is 4.
130
So these 2s can cancel the 4 on the bottom.
131
So what's our final answer here?
132
Notice that every number in the numerators of the 3 fractions have been cancelled.
133
So what numbers should we put on top then if there's nothing to write?
134
Well, if we think about this, 9 divided by 9.
135
The reason why that cancels is because 9 over 9 is 1.
136
7 divided by 7 is 1 So when everything cancels, the number to right is a 1 Now we do have a 3 on the bottom,
137
so our final answer for this problem is 1 over 3 So this is the solution

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
