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
