Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number for the new numerator. The denominator remains the same. Then, see if the fraction can be simplified. Also, you may wish to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers.
Example 1: 6 * (4/9)
6*4 = 24 so the product is 24/9. This can be simplified (common factor 3) to 8/3, which as a mixed number is 2 2/3.
Example 2: 2 * (4/9)
2*4 = 8 so the product is 8/9. This cannot be simplified.
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, first convert the whole number into a fraction by placing it over 1. Then, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. Simplify the resulting fraction if necessary. For example, to multiply ( \frac{2}{3} ) by 4, rewrite 4 as ( \frac{4}{1} ), then multiply: ( \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 1} = \frac{8}{3} ).
Multiply the fraction to the whole.
Just multiply the numerator by the whole number, and keep the same denominator. After you do that, chances are that you'll have to simplify the fraction to a mixed number.
This is called a mixed number. Mixed numbers are numbers that stand for both a fraction and a whole number. For example: 41/2
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
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?
if your numbers arent whole numbers then multiply them out until they are whole numbers that are easier to work with.

There is an infinite combination of numbers you can use to multiply that will result in 29. However, no whole numbers can be multiplied to result in 29. Instead, multiply a fraction or decimal. For example: 2 and 14.5 or 14 1/2.
Because fractions aren't whole numbers
to divide a whole number by a fraction you invert the fraction and multiply. For example 5 divided by 1/10 = 5 x 10 = 50
Multiply the fraction to the whole.
You multiply the whole number and the denominator. Then then you add the numerator to the product. Numerator: top of fraction Denominator: bottom of fraction Product: is when you multiply, for example 4 x 4 = 16 so 16 is the product.
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then multiply that by the numerator. Put that answer over the original denominator.
Just multiply the numerator by the whole number, and keep the same denominator. After you do that, chances are that you'll have to simplify the fraction to a mixed 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
