In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. Multiply rational numbers;
2. Divide rational numbers;
3. Solve problems involving multiplication and division of rational numbers.
While there are rules and algorithms to remember, this lesson also shows why those rules
and algorithms work.

Good Morning class! Good morning Sir! Mabuhay!

You may now take your seat

3. Checking of Attendance
Do we have any absentees? Sir, I’m glad to tell you that there’s no
absent today

Yesterday, we discussed about?
The lesson yesterday is about addition and
subtraction of rational numbers.
Very Good!

SECRET MESSAGE

What if your friend send this questions to you, try to

solve and find out the answers and respont to your
friend immediately.

I HAVE PROBLEMS

Very Good!
B. Developmental Activities
1. Explore
Now, class I have here a visual representation
of chocolate. All you need to do is to answer the
corresponding question regarding this picture.
Every correct answer you will receive extra
points for the evaluation later

Is that clear?
Yes, Sir!

This is a chocolate bar.

3 1
Kim ate of of the chocolate.
5 2

What part of the whole chocolate did Kim eat?

Can you make a model to help you solve these
problems?
(Call students)
Help me to know chocolate did Kim eat?
Let’s start.
First, divide the chocolate into 2 since Kim
1
only eat part of it
2

Very Good!
Next, that divide the half of the chocolate into
then color the 3 out of it.

Good!
 Then, divide the other half of the chocolate
into 5 as well for us to see what part I ate.

What did you notice on the chocolate?

Kim only ate 3/10 of the chocolate.

Very Good!
But, there’s an easy way to solve that problem.
It is by multiplying this rational numbers.
And that’s our lesson for today.

C. Explain
Powerpoint presentation
Now, I will discuss to you the important rules
to remember in multiplying and dividing rational
numbers
The following are rules that you must
remember.
To multiply rational numbers in fraction form
simply multiply the numerators and multiply the (Raising their hands)
denominators.
× or •
What are the symbols used for multiplication?
(Call a student)
Very Good! From hehere on, the symbols to
be used for multiplication are any of × or •.
a c ac
In symbol, • = , where b and d are
b d bd
NOT equal to zero, ( b ≠ 0; d ≠ 0 )
So, for example.

Ok! What is now the answer? 3 4

The easiest way to solve for this number is to 3 4 3×4 12 4
change mixed numbers to an improper fraction 117
and then multiply it. Since, is divisible by 3. We simplify

Any question regarding multiplication of

rational numbers?
Let’s proceed to division of rational numbers.
To divide rational numbers in fraction form,
you take the reciprocal of the second fraction
(called the divisor) and multiply it by the first
fraction.
a c a d ad
In symbol, ÷ = • = where b, c,
b d b c bc
d are NOT equal to zero. 2 3
Take the reciprocal of , which is ,

For example, then multiply it.

What is the first thing to do? • = = =

• =

Solve
Very Good! Now, let’s try to solve this
problem.

2. Elaborate
Through the breakout room, I will group you into
4 groups. After that you will open the brainscape,
there will be a posted flashcard containing the
1 8 ×4
question that you will answer by group. 8• = = 8×4 = 32
4 1 ×1
The first group to answer correctly will get the
additional 3 points in the evaluation quiz later
Since there are 4 fourths in one sandwich,
Miriam made 8 chicken sandwiches for some
there will be 4 x 8 = 32 triangular pieces
street children. She cut up each sandwich into 4
and hence, 32 children will be fed.
triangular pieces. If a child can only take a piece,
how many children can she feed?
Impressive! Now explain how you got the
answer.
