Can I use this multiply and divide fractions with signs worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade rational numbers, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What are the sign rules for multiplying and dividing fractions?
⌄
Matching signs give a positive result and different signs give a negative result. The rule is the same for multiplication and division. Multiply and Divide Signed Fractions states it at the top of the page.
How do you divide by a fraction?
⌄
Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction, then check the sign and simplify. For example, negative 1/8 divided by 1/2 becomes negative 1/8 times 2, which is negative 1/4. Choose the Greater Quotient of Signed Fractions practices this.
Do the answers need to be in simplest form?
⌄
Yes. Each sheet asks for answers in simplest form, and the quotient sheet allows a fraction or a mixed number. The stacked boxes on the first sheet show where the fraction goes.
