How do i multiply a fraction by a whole number?
Multiply the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
Why or why not can a fraction be simplified if the numerator is a prime number?
"7" is a prime number. But you can simplify 7/14, 7/21,/7/28, and so on. Answer: If the denominator is also a multiple of the prime number, then the fraction can be simplified; otherwise, it cannot. To simplify any fraction, the numerator and denominator must have a factor in common, as in the examples above.
How would you change a fraction into a mixed number if the numerator is bigger?
divide the numerator by the denominator eg.15over10=1 5over 10
How do you change fraction to a mixed number?

How do you simplify a number that is bigger than the denominator?
simplify by dividing
How do you simplify fractional numbers?
Divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number to simplify a fraction. This number must be a common factor of the numerator and the denominator. For example, 50 is a common factor of the numerator and denominator of 350/400. By dividing each by 50, 350/400 can be simplified to 7/8.
How do you simplify the fraction?
first multiply the denominator to the mixed number. then,when you got the product, add the product to the numerator. then,when you got the sum, copy the sum as numerator and the denominator was the last denominator you used.
How do you simplfiy a mixed number?

Can the numerator be bigger than the denominator in fractions?
Yes But then you would have to divide the denominator into the numerator and get a mixed number ,then simply 6:4
How do you write a mixed number to a fraction?
You multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator of the original fraction to get the numerator of your new fraction. The denominator stays the same as the original. Then you simplify into lowest terms.
What number do you use if you want to simplify?
you can use factor of both the numerator and denominator, not a multiple, a factor
How you simplify 12 over 6?
Evidently, 12 over 6 is an improper fraction and you can simplify this by dividing the denominator and numerator by 6 (a number that goes into both the denominator and numerator). This gives you 2/1, which as a mixed number is 2.It's 2 basically
Who do you turn a mixed number into an improper fraction in the simplest form?
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add the the numerator to that total and put the new total over the original denominator. Simplify if necessary by taking the GCF of the numerator and denominator.
How do you make mixed numbers in the simplest form?
You multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator. This is your numerator. You have the same denominator as you did before. Simplify. Example: 5 and 1/2. 5x2+1=11. 11/2. You can't simplify
