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!
You multiply the negative number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
When you multiply a fraction by 1, the value does not change. It is like this for any number.
Multiply the fraction's numerator by the whole number, then reduce the improper fraction if necessary.Example : 3/4 x 6= (3 x 6) / 4 = 18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4 1/2
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?
You do not!3 is a whole number, 7/3 is a fraction.If you multiply the whole number by the fraction you get 3*(7/3) = 7, which is larger not smaller.
