The best way to multiply a whole number by a fraction is to tackle the problem in two parts. First you multiply the number by the numerator (top) of the fraction. Second you divide the number by the denominator (bottom) of the fraction.
For example, if I wanted to work out 25 x 4/10
I would do 25x4, which = 100
Then I would do 100/10, which = 10, so the answer is 10.
This is only the mental method though. When writing down on paper you would do this all in one step, as 25 x 4/10 = 10.
Convert the whole number to a fraction by putting it over 1. Multiply the two fractions by doing the numerator*numerator (top times top) and denominator*denominator (bottom times bottom).
You can make any whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.
To divide a whole number by a fraction, you can rewrite the fraction as a whole number by multiplying the denominator by the whole number. Then, divide the resulting whole number by the numerator of the fraction. This process is equivalent to multiplying the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number, you should rewrite the whole number as a fraction. Do this by placing the number over a denominator of one.
Any whole number into a fraction is whole number over 1. Whole number = x Fraction = x/1
Convert the whole number to a fraction by putting it over 1. Multiply the two fractions by doing the numerator*numerator (top times top) and denominator*denominator (bottom times bottom).
The answer can be another fraction and a whole number or it can be a whole number.
You can make any whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1.
a fraction cannot be a whole number
To divide a whole number by a fraction, you can rewrite the fraction as a whole number by multiplying the denominator by the whole number. Then, divide the resulting whole number by the numerator of the fraction. This process is equivalent to multiplying the whole number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number, you should rewrite the whole number as a fraction. Do this by placing the number over a denominator of one.
The numerator of the fraction is multiplied by the whole number.
Any whole number into a fraction is whole number over 1. Whole number = x Fraction = x/1
A number can be called either a mixed number or a mixed fraction when it is a whole number with a fraction.
It is the first whole number divided by the denominator of the unit fraction. This could be a whole number or a fraction.
how to write 6/9 as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction.
Any fraction can be multiplied by a whole number so that the product is a whole number. Simply multiply the fraction (in rational form) by its denominator.
