Its related to each other because in both you multiply.
Whole numbers are positive integers, expect zero which is neutral (no sign). If you know the time table, this will help you to multiply fractions written as integer/integer (rational number). So you will find the right value of the product. Positive or negative value, it depends on the sign of the numbers involved in the multiplication.

What is a general rule for multiplying fractions and whole numbers?
A general rule for multiplying fractions: You shall not multiply the denominator by the whole number,only the numerator.Another rule is you shall make the whole number as a fraction by putting the whole number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator before multiplying it.
What patterns do you notice when multiplying fractions of a whole number?
There is no pattern.
How is the product of a proper fraction and a whole number similar to the product of 2 proper fractions?
Any whole number, n, can be written as the fraction n/1.Multiplication of a fraction, p/q by a whole number n is the same as multiplying p/q by n/1.Furthermore, the process of multiplying proper fractions and improper fractions is the same and that gives the equality of the two processes.
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number how do you rewrite the whole number?
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number you would rewrite it as a mixed number or convert the whole number to that number over one!
How do you make 15 by multiplication?
Multiply:1x15=1515x1=153x5=155*3=15*With multiplying fractions, there are an infinite number of ways to get the product of 15, but the four listed above are used by multiplying whole numbers.

How is multiplying fractions by a whole number is different from adding adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators?
Adding and subtracting fractions can ONLY be done if the denominators are the same; then the calculation is done by adding or subtracting the numerators. Multiplying (and dividing) fractions does not require the denominators to be the same. To divide by a fraction the divisor is inverted (the original numerator becomes the new denominator and the original denominator becomes the new numerator) and then the fractions are multiplied. Multiplying fractions is achieved by multiplying the numerators together AND multiplying the denominators together. A whole number is the same as a fraction with the whole number as the numerator and a denominator of 1, so when multiplying by a whole number the denominator is multiplied by 1 (leaving it the same) and the is multiplication is effectively just multiplying the numerator by the whole number.

How do you multiply hole numbers and fractions?
You simply put the whole number over one making it a fraction then you flip the reciprocal and divide the two fractions insted of multiplying.
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number how do you rewrite the whole number?
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number you would rewrite it as a mixed number or convert the whole number to that number over one!
What are the steps to multiplying rational numbers?
Step 1 Make the whole number a fraction by making it ?/1 Step 2 Make the mixed number a improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator and putting that on top of the original denominator. Step 3 SOLVE using basic multiplying fractions rules Step 4 SIMPLIFY

How do you multiply fractions with whole numbers?
So, pretend the whole number has a one under it. Then put them side by side and multipy. If it is a improper fraction (ex. 13 over 3) reduce it. OR do this: So, using the same example, 3 goes into 13 four times, with one left over, therefore it is 4 (how many times it goes in) with 1 (left over) over 3 (the number on the bottom stays the same. We learned this in math a few days ago.
What is simple fraction?
A simple fraction is a fraction that is a whole number divided by a whole number. Complex fractions can have fractions inside of fractions.
How do you multiply a mixed fraction by a whole number?
You would turn the mixed number into a fraction by multiplying the whole number(the one in the mixed fraction) by the denominator and then you add the numerator to the product. You would then put that number you get and out it over the denominator. For the other whole number, you would put it over one and multiply the two fractions!
