Best Answer

The numerator of the product will be the product of the numerator and the whole number. The denominator of the product will be the same as the denominator of the fraction. The answer may have to be simplified.

Example:

3 * 5/6 = ?

The numerator of the fraction is 5, and the whole number is 3. The numerator of our answer will be 3 * 5, or 15. The denominator will remain the same so:

3 * 5/6 = 15/6

which simplifies to

2 and 1/2
