    It's easy peasy.

    So

    Let's say you're multiplying

    2 x 1/4

    You put a 1 under the 2 and that makes 2/1 because that is still 2 but just in fraction form. Any number over one is just that number.

    So now we have

    2/1 x 1/4

    You multiply across the top and across the bottom.

    So then we'd get

    2/4

    A fraction is another way to represent division. Let's have 1/2 as the fraction and 5 as the whole number. To multiply them, you multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction. In this case we get 1*5 = 5, which will be the numerator for the solution. The denominator will be the original denominator of the fraction. In this case, we will get 5/2.
