To work out some fraction of a value we need to multiply. Multiplying fractions is performed by multiplying the numerators to find the numerator of the answer, and then doing the same with the denominators. (When multiplying a fraction by an integer, remember that an integer is just like a fraction with denominator 1).

If the value is a quantity with units, it is important remember to include the units in the answer.
