Abstract
This clip provides three practical problems to demonstrate when the ability to multiply fractions is useful. One example involves figuring out the area of a park. The clip points out that this type of problem is approached in the same way, regardless of whether the park's dimensions are whole numbers or fractions. The clip states, however, that some multiplication problems only come up with fractions, such as one requiring that we figure out what one-third of three-fourths of a pound is. In such cases, the clip advises, "...we interpret the word 'of'' as a signal to multiply."
