They are the same. If you write the whole number p in the form of the fraction, p/1, you would see absolutely no difference.
If you express the whole number w, as w/1, then there is no difference whatsoever.
The only generalisation posible is that it will always be a rational number. The product can be positive or negative; it can be a fraction or an integer, it can be larger or smaller.
A product is a binary operator. That means a product is the result of combining TWO numbers. You cannot have a product of just one number - whether it is a fraction or not is irrelevant.
round the fraction to the nearest whole number, then times the two whole number together

Any fraction can be multiplied by a whole number so that the product is a whole number. Simply multiply the fraction (in rational form) by its denominator.
how to write 6/9 as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction.
The answer can be another fraction and a whole number or it can be a whole number.
A decimal is similar to a fraction because they are both part of a whole number, not a whole number, just part of one. For example, 0.5 is the same thing as 1/2 , or half. This means both are only half of a whole number.
It is the first whole number divided by the denominator of the unit fraction. This could be a whole number or a fraction.
product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than or less than the whole Number

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.
