Examples
Understanding fraction multiplication is crucial in many real-life scenarios, such as scaling recipes. For instance, if a recipe calls for 3 2 cup of flour and you want to double the recipe, you need to multiply 3 2 by 2, resulting in 3 4 or 1 3 1 cups of flour. This skill is also essential in calculating proportions, discounts, and various measurements in cooking, construction, and other fields.
