The numerator of the product will be the product of the numerator and the whole number. The denominator of the product will be the same as the denominator of the fraction. The answer may have to be simplified.
Example:
3 * 5/6 = ?
The numerator of the fraction is 5, and the whole number is 3. The numerator of our answer will be 3 * 5, or 15. The denominator will remain the same so:
3 * 5/6 = 15/6
which simplifies to
2 and 1/2
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Mixed Fractions are fractions that have whole numbers and fractions on the side.If you are trying to change them into improper fractions you take the denominator of the fraction and multiply it by the whole number and keep the same numerator. ex.: 2 and one fourth =
You would turn the mixed number into a fraction by multiplying the whole number(the one in the mixed fraction) by the denominator and then you add the numerator to the product. You would then put that number you get and out it over the denominator. For the other whole number, you would put it over one and multiply the two fractions!
A general rule for multiplying fractions: You shall not multiply the denominator by the whole number,only the numerator.Another rule is you shall make the whole number as a fraction by putting the whole number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator before multiplying it.
The whole number, 6, can be written as 6/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.

Because fractions aren't whole numbers
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?
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same whole number.

You have to multiply the bottom number by the whole number. then add it to the top number. EX: 1/2+3=7/2
The whole number, 6, can be written as 6/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
Do this : 3 4/4 multiplied by 2 1/4 = 6 4/4 rounded to 7
turn the whole number into an inproper fraction by doing this: multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.that answer is your numerator make the fractions denominator the whole number's denominator.then subtract just the numerators.you should have an improper fraction as your final answer, so turn that into a mixed number.
Well first of all you might want to try spelling whole with a "W".
