When multiplying a fraction by a whole number how do you rewrite the whole number?
When multiplying a fraction by a whole number you would rewrite it as a mixed number or convert the whole number to that number over one!
When you convert an improper number to a mixed number can the fraction be an improper?
No because that would take you back to square one... And the improper fraction or number would have to be taken through the correct process again to figure the mixed number.
What is 3545 as a fraction?
In mathematics you can convert any whole number to a fraction by simply placing it over 1. Therefore, 3545 as a fraction would be 3545/1.
How do you convert 5.5 into a fraction?
Anytime there is a number to the left of a decimal, it is a whole number. When the number is to the right of a decimal, it's only part of a whole number, or a fraction. Sowith 5.5, the 5 would be 5 wholes and .5 would be 5/10, which reduces to 1/2. So to convert 5.5 to a fraction, it would be 5 1/2 (five and one half).
How do you multiply a mixed fraction by a whole number?
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!
