convert all of your numbers to fractions by turning the whole and fraction term into an improper fraction. For example, one and two-fifths, written as 1 2/5, becomes 7/5 by multiplying the denominator (5) by the whole number (1), adding it to the numerator (2) and then putting that number (5*1 + 2 = 7) over the denominator. Then, simply multiply the fractions as you normally would and don't forget to simplify.
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
No.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Keep the same denominator, and multiply the numerator by the whole number.
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, or divide the numerator by the whole number
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
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.
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?
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.
No.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or
Keep the same denominator, and multiply the numerator by the whole number.
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
Best shown with an example. Say 2/3 X 5 4/5 #1 convert to an Improper (top heavy) fraction Hence 2/3 X 29/5 #2 cancel down where possible. In this case cannot cancel down; no common factors. #3 ; multiply the numerators(top) together, and then multiply the denominators(botton). Hence 58/15 #4 ; Convert back to a mixed number. 58/15 = 3 13/15 The answer!!!!
Multiply the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
