so you have the fraction, ex: 2/4 (fraction) x 2 (whole number).
you put the whole number, 2, over 1. so it's 2/4 x 2/1. then you go ahead and multiply (assuming you know how to do that.)
2
_ x 2 , you can change to 2 2
_ x _
4 4 1
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?
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.
First you have to multiply the whole number with the top number in your fraction. REMEMBER TO KEEP THE BOTTOM NUMBER THE SAME!!!!! Your number will be an irregular fraction.
The mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. Multiply the denominator of the fraction portion by the whole number and to this product add the numerator of the fraction portion. This value is the numerator of the new improper fraction. The denominator of the new improper fraction is the same as the denominator of the original fraction portion of the mixed number.
In that case, the result will be smaller than your positive whole number.
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
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.

No.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
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
Keep the same denominator, and multiply the numerator by the whole number.
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 the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, or divide the numerator by the whole number
Yes. If you mean dividing a whole number INTO a fraction here is how you do it. Take the whole number and write it as a fraction where the whole number is the numerator (top part of the fraction) and the number "1" is the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction). Now, turn that fraction upsides down so that the "1" is on top and the whole number is on the bottom. Multiply the numerator of the original fraction times the "1" giving you the original numerator as the new numerator. Multiply the whole number times the original denominator giving you the new denominator. If you means dividing the fraction into the whole number it is similar. Write the whole number as a fraction (as above) with 1 in the denominator. Then flip the fraction over and multiply the two numerators, the two denominators and you have your answer.
