  • I recommend this excellent Math channel: ( Mathmatchpoint ) to everyone who wants to become good at Math. He is going to teach you Math the EASY WAY, from the basic to the advanced topics. The great thing is that his videos are categorized within playlists. It is easy to know which video to watch next. This was the least I could do for him (let others know about his videos). Thanks to him, I got 97% on my Math test.

    Go to his channel: Mathmatchpoint

    Math is easy

  • dhaakair39

    I am guessing the answer would be 3/5...

  • What about when u have 2 2/5 times 1/4?

  • HELLO KHAN THANKS FOR ALL!!

  • What about multiplying numbers that have a whole number and a fraction. For example 9/16 X 2 2/3.

  • you're a godsend, thank you!!

    ::hugs::

  • i have a question.

    How come for one of your answers when you multiplied a negative fraction with a positive and your answer was a negative one? Does it make a difference if the answer is negative or positive when multiplying? Because you did a another one with a negative fractions and the answer was like -2 over 3 instead of -2/3 (the whole thing being negative)

  • THANK YOU!!!! It seemed so complicated, but it's not.

  • Great job, you did great, my kids and i lovvve the way you explain your self......Great teacher....Thanks

  • KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!

  • That's what I tell people when they ask where I suddenly learned math. They don't ask me again. xD

  • YOOOOOOOOOO FAT

  • thank you so much i got an 100% on my test!!

  • Great video man this so easy thank you.!!!!!!!

  • hey you should elaborate on multiplying fractions in another video. I'm doing fractions like 6 1/4 x 7 1/9 x 9/5 . I know to simplfy it so it ends up like 25/4 x 64/9 x 9/5 .... but then I'm confused about what to do next? I tried to continue doing it like any other multiplication fraction, but I am confused what to do when u have three seperate fractions in one equation?

  • I have a pre entrance exam for an LPN class in 2 days and the book doesn't even explain it this good, thanks..

  • You know I consider myself pretty smart but for some reason I always forget fraction, or they just seem to confuse me, but you have made them very clear it's like the clouds have departed and the blue sky has come though...... thanks

  • It's always good to revise the basics! That's what I've been doing.

  • thx I wish i had a fast math brain
