Because fractions aren't whole numbers
Multiply the number by a fraction
Multiply the fraction by the same number.
When you multiply a number by 1, it stays the same. When you multiply a number by a number greater than 1, it increases. When you multiply a number by a number that is less than 1 (a proper fraction), it decreases.
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.
A fraction "of" a number is the same as the fraction "times" a number. In other words, you must multiply 1/10 times 80.A fraction "of" a number is the same as the fraction "times" a number.

turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed with the multiplication.
When you multiply a fraction by 1, the value does not change. It is like this for any number.
You multiply the negative number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or
you have to multiply the top and bottom number by the same number
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?
