Multiply the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
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.
Multiply by the reciprocal.
It helps if you change the mixed number into an improper fraction. After you do that you can multiply the improper fraction and the whole number. **hint if you put the whole number over 1 it will make it easier to multiply For example: Multiply 3 and 1/2 by 8 1) change 3 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It would be 7/2 2) put 8 over one in a fraction. It would be 8/1 3) multiply 7/2 by 8/1 - first multiply the numerators 7 x 8= 56 - second multiply the denominators 2 x 1= 2 4) reduce your answer (56/2) It would be 28 And that is how you multiply a mixed number with a whole number
You need at least two things to have a product. Two whole numbers won't multiply to create a fraction. A whole number and a fraction will. 3 x 1/2 = 3/2
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
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.
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.
No.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Keep the same denominator, and multiply the numerator by the whole 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
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 denominator by the whole number, or divide the numerator by the whole number
If it is a rational fraction, you simply multiply its denominator 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.
