to multiply fractions add them together and reduce the final fraction.
to multiply mixed numbers, first make the mixed number an improper fraction, by mulitplying the whole number and the denominator and adding the answer to the numerator.
Example: The improper fraction 8/5 can be changed to the mixed number 1 3/5 by dividing the numerator (8) by the denominator (5). This gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 3. The remainder is placed over the divisor (5).

How do you multiply fractions with whole numbers and mixed numbers?
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?
When adding two mixed numbers if the sum of the fractions is greater than 1 you have to carry the 1 over to the whole number side?
That is correct.
What are the steps to adding mixed fractions?
1. 2 3/5+ 3 4/5 Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions; = 13/5 + 19/5 Write the sum of the numerators over the common denominator; = (13 + 19)/5 = 32/5 Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number; = 6 2/5 2. -2 1/5 + (- 4 5/8) Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions; = -11/5 + (-37/8) Multiply by 8/8 the first fraction, and by 5/5 the second fraction in order to have the same denominator (because LCD is 40); = -88/40 + (-185/40) Write the sum of the numerators over the common denominator; = -(88 + 185)/40 = -273/40 Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number; = -6 33/40
How do you find the average of a mixed fraction?
Same as any average. Add all the fractions and divide them by the amount of fractions
