Product of an improper fraction a proper fraction.

Attempting to do a improper fraction and a proper fraction is the same as product of 2 proper fractions.
Unlike addition and subtraction of fractions, we DO NOT need to change the denominator to the same common factor.

The only difference is that if the end result becomes an improper fraction, we have to convert/change that improper fraction to a mixed number. That's all.

This is a short post as I have gone through with the class how to attempt multiplication involving fractions. If any one should have any questions, pass them to me during class time, so that I can solve it and post it in this Maths blog for pupils to share.
