Well, first you have to change the whole number into a fraction by putting it over one.
EX: 3/4 • 2
3/4 • 2/1
By placing the one as the denominator it will show that it is 2 over 1. Next, you multiply fractions as you usually would.
3/4 • 2/1
3 • 2 = 6
4 • 1 = 4
Finally, you simplify.
6 ÷ 2 = 3
4 ÷ 2 = 2
If you have to change it back into a decimal or whole number you have to divide then nominator by the denominator.
_1_._5___
4| 6 . 0
- 4
2 0
- 2 0
0 0
So there you have it, one and five tenths or 1.5.

How do you multiply a fraction bye a mixed fraction?
You would have to convert the mixed number into a fraction, or you could convert the fraction into a mixed number. The first one is easier in my opinion. For example: 2 3/4 is 11/4. Converting a fraction into a mixed number is just as easy but it is harder to multiply To multiply a mixed fraction by a fraction you will need to multiply the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) by the whole number then add the numerator (the top number of a fraction) and that will be your new numerator. Then multiply the two fractions (straight across). Finally put you final answer in simplest form if needed.
