So, pretend the whole number has a one under it. Then put them side by side and multipy. If it is a improper fraction (ex. 13 over 3) reduce it. OR do this: So, using the same example, 3 goes into 13 four times, with one left over, therefore it is 4 (how many times it goes in) with 1 (left over) over 3 (the number on the bottom stays the same. We learned this in math a few days ago.
Fractions are multiplied by multiplying numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator. The fractions may be simplified before multiplying. Whole numbers have the understood denominator of 1. Read this lesson on multiplying fractions if you need help on how to multiply fractions.
you multiply the denomanators and the top number then multiply the whole #s then reduce your answer if you can. an example would be 3 8/9X6 8/9= 18 64/81 get it now?

When do you flip less than greater than sign?
When dividing by negative numbers or dividing by fractions.
What is a positive number with no decimals or fractions?
Whole numbers are positive numbers and there are no fractions or decimals.
Why do numbers get smaller when multiplied by a decimal?
It's because decimals are really fractions and all numbers get smaller when you multiply them by fractions.
What fractions equal 1 whole?
Fractions that multiply to get 1 whole are reciprocals, or multiplicative inverses.
Are all rational numbers whole numbers?
All rational numbers are not whole numbers, as rational numbers can include fractions.
How can i multiply fractions?
By putting the whole numbers with a one at the bottom so it will be a denominator and multiply
Why is it when you multiply a number by a fraction you get a lesser number?
Because fractions aren't whole numbers
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 multiplying mixed numbers do you have to multiply the whole numbers or just the fractions?
More than that. You need to multiply the whole number, the farctions AND cross multiply the whole numbers and the fractions. Then add together all the answers. Thus, 23/4 * 56/7 = 2*5 + (3/4*6/7) + 2*6/7 + 3/4*5 Actually, it is far simpler to convert the mixed fractions to improper (top heavy) fractions, and then multiply the numerators together to give the numerator of the answer and multiply the denominators together to give the denominators of the answer.
Are fractions whole numbers?
No. All fractions are not whole numbers, but all whole numbers are [improper] fractions (with a denominator of 1).
How do you get a fraction of another fraction?
To get a fraction of another fraction you have to multiply the fractions. To multiply fractions, just use this simple algorithm: Step 1-Turn all whole numbers and mixed numbers into improper fractions. Step 2-Multiply the numerators of the 2 fractions. The answer to that problem will be the numerator of the answer. Step 3-Multiply the denominators of the 2 fractions. The answer to that problem will be the denominator of the answer. Step 4-Reduce.
What numbers do you multiply and get 24?
there are infinite possibilities including fractions and decimals Whole numbers are: 1x24, 2x12, 3x8, 4x6
What are mixed fractions and how do they work?
Mixed Fractions are fractions that have whole numbers and fractions on the side.If you are trying to change them into improper fractions you take the denominator of the fraction and multiply it by the whole number and keep the same numerator. ex.: 2 and one fourth =
What do fractions help with?
Fractions help with numbers that are not whole numbers.
How do you write mixed numbers into fractions?
You multiply the denominator by the whole number the add the numerator and you keep the denominator the same.
How do you convert mixed fractions into whole numbers?
Mixed fractions can't become whole numbers.
Are there more fractions than there are whole numbers?
There are an infinite number of both fractions and whole numbers.
