a mixed number is a mixture a whole number (Ex. 2,6,3,4,67,23,546) and a fraciton (4/6,4/7,346/346,2346/2346).
mixed numbers could llook like 4 1/5 or 6 7/8
to multiply mixed fractions you need to make them into improper fractions. imporper fractions means when the top number is bigger than the bottom number... like... 23456/2, 3/2, 5/2, 8/2
Lets take 4 1/5 and 6 7/8 as our example
first put them as improper fractions. to do this you have to multiply the denominator by the whole number on the left then you add the numerator to that product.
so 4 1/5 would be 21/5 as an improper fraction
and 6 7/8 would be 55/8 as an improper fraction
and then multiplying is just simple. just multiply both numerators by each other and both denominaters by each other.
(21 * 55) / (5 * 8) = 1155/40 = 231/8 is the fraction in lowest terms.
i hope that helped. if you need any more help feel free to ask me on my message baord.
