Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number for the new numerator. The denominator remains the same. Then, see if the fraction can be simplified. Also, you may wish to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers.
Example 1: 6 * (4/9)
6*4 = 24 so the product is 24/9. This can be simplified (common factor 3) to 8/3, which as a mixed number is 2 2/3.
Example 2: 2 * (4/9)
2*4 = 8 so the product is 8/9. This cannot be simplified.

∙ 12y agoIf it is a proper or improper fraction: multiply the whole number by the numerator (the top part), and put the result in the numerator. Copy the denominator (bottom part) into the denominator of the result. For example, 2 x 10/3 = 20/3.
If it is a mixed fraction, use one of the following methods:
1. Multiply the whole number by the fraction's whole part. Also, multiply the whole number by the fractional part (as above). Add the results. Example: 2 x 2 2/3 = 4 + 4/3 = 5 1/3.
2. Or, convert the fraction to an improper fraction, and multiply as above. In the example (1) above, you would convert 2 2/3 to 8/3, and then multiply 2 x 8/3.

How do you devide whole numbers by a fraction?
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
What is every fraction in a whole?
Multiply the fraction to the whole.
How do you find the product of a fraction with whole numbers?
Just multiply the numerator by the whole number, and keep the same denominator. After you do that, chances are that you'll have to simplify the fraction to a mixed number.
How do you change whole numbers to improper fractions?
You just take any denominator, (which is the second number in a fraction) and any whole number and multiply that denominator by the whole number to get an improper fraction, say you choose, the whole number 16 and the denominator 4, multiply 4 by 16 and get 64, your improper fraction will be 64/4.
How do you get a fraction of another fraction?
To get a fraction of another fraction you have to multiply the fractions. To multiply fractions, just use this simple algorithm: Step 1-Turn all whole numbers and mixed numbers into improper fractions. Step 2-Multiply the numerators of the 2 fractions. The answer to that problem will be the numerator of the answer. Step 3-Multiply the denominators of the 2 fractions. The answer to that problem will be the denominator of the answer. Step 4-Reduce.
How do you devide whole numbers by a fraction?
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
How do you multiply fractions with whole numbers and mixed numbers?
The question is ambiguous. Do you want to know how to multiply a fraction by a whole number, as well as by a mixed number? Or are you asking how to multiply a whole number by a mixed number and express the product as a fraction? Or what?
What can you do if the fraction you have can not be easily be converted?
if your numbers arent whole numbers then multiply them out until they are whole numbers that are easier to work with.
Why is it when you multiply a number by a fraction you get a lesser number?
Because fractions aren't whole numbers
What is every fraction in a whole?
Multiply the fraction to the whole.
How do you write mixed numbers as an inproper fraction?
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then multiply that by the numerator. Put that answer over the original denominator.
How do you find the product of a fraction with whole numbers?
Just multiply the numerator by the whole number, and keep the same denominator. After you do that, chances are that you'll have to simplify the fraction to a mixed number.
Why is the answer larger when you multiply a whole number by a whole number and smaller when you multiply a whole number by a proper fraction?
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
Multiply fraction with whole number?
Answer = 2/7 * 3 = 6/7Notes:Whole numbers are the set of numbers {0, 1, 2, ...}
How do you change whole numbers to improper fractions?
You just take any denominator, (which is the second number in a fraction) and any whole number and multiply that denominator by the whole number to get an improper fraction, say you choose, the whole number 16 and the denominator 4, multiply 4 by 16 and get 64, your improper fraction will be 64/4.
How do you write a fraction as the product of a whole number?
You need at least two things to have a product. Two whole numbers won't multiply to create a fraction. A whole number and a fraction will. 3 x 1/2 = 3/2
How do you get a fraction of another fraction?
