FAQ

Why is the product of two fractions smaller than each factor?

Taking a fraction of something less than 1 gives a smaller part: 1/2 of 3/4 is 3/8, which is less than 3/4.

Is every worksheet different?

Yes. Numbers are generated each time, and the answer key is calculated for that sheet. Swap any single question and its answer updates too.

Can I mix multiplying fractions with other skills?

Yes. In the generator, add more skills; each gets its own section on the sheet with its own instructions.

Is it free to print?

Yes. Generating and printing from the browser is free with no sign-up. PDF downloads need a free account.
