Why do you end up with a smaller fraction when you multiply a whole number by a fraction?

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.

What is 480 in a fraction?

Well, honey, 480 is a whole number, not a fraction. But if you want me to whip up a fraction for you, how about 480/1? That's technically correct, but honestly, who needs a fraction for a nice round number like 480?


How do you round a mixed number to a whole number?

Change the fraction part into a decimal. If the decimal is great than or equal to 0.5, round the whole number up. If it is lower, than drop the fraction altogether. Ex: 6 2/3 2/3 = .666 .666 > .5 6 2/3 rounded to the nearest whole number is 7.


Why is an improper fraction greater than a proper fraction?

A proper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is smaller than the denominator. An improper fraction is a fraction who's numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator. 1/2 is a proper fraction. 3/2 is an improper fraction. Now to understand why the improper fraction is larger than the proper fraction, lets split them up. The proper fraction is one half of a whole, whereas the improper fraction is one whole and one half. Basically the proper is one half, and the improper is three halves. In theory, a proper fraction is always less than the whole number under consideration. On the other hand, an improper fraction is either equal to or larger than the whole number under consideration.
