I was running eight miles away
I had already run three-fourths of the way
To find how far I'd traveled from my front door
I did eight times three and got twenty-four
Then I divided by four and I got six
Six miles I'd run in my brand new kicks
Multiplying whole numbers by fractions is awesome, yeah
When there's a similar problem, we'll not have forgotten
Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom
Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom
I was riding to the video game shop
I had ridden five-sixths of twelve city blocks
How far I'd gone is what I wanted to find
Twelve times five is what I multiplied
I got sixty and then divided by six
I had ridden ten blocks and did a cool bike trick
Multiplying whole numbers by fractions is awesome, yeah
When there's a similar problem, we'll not have forgotten
Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom
Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom
A girl used repeated addition to see
If she could use the strategy to solve a half times three
She thought fast and then it came like a flash
That a half plus a half plus a half is three halves
She converted three halves to one and a half
She had a crush that would last if was a crush on math
Multiplying whole numbers by fractions is awesome, yeah
When there's a similar problem, we'll not have forgotten
Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom
Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom
