It is the binary operation of multiplication which has two inputs, at least one of which comprises a mixed fraction: that is, a fraction which consists of an integer part and a part which is a proper fraction.
98 is an integer and there is no sensible way of representing it as a mixed fraction.
A mixed number
0.714285 does not convert to a mixed fraction, just a fraction. It is: 142857/200000
It is a fraction - which may be mixed or proper.
To find 87.5% of a fraction or mixed number, you first convert the fraction or mixed number into a whole number with or without a decimal (ex. 3/4=.75; 1 3/8=1.375). Next, you take 87.5% and convert it into a decimal (for multiplication. To do this, you simply move the decimal point (.) two paces to the left (87.5=.875) and the opposite when converting a decimal to a percent. Next, you multiply .875 by whatever the converted fraction or mixed number came out as. Now you have your answer. Hope this helps.
The simplest way is to rewrite the mixed number as an improper (top-heavy) fraction and then multiply the two fractions together as normal.For example, 2/7 * 1 1/4 = 2/7*5/4 = 10/28 = 5/14
No you do not HAVE TO. But you are well advised to do so. You are far more likely to run into problems or make mistakes if you try to go through the multiplication process using mixed fractions.
175: as a decimal = 175.0 as a mixed fraction = Ideally, it can't be converted into a mixed fraction.
proper fraction
A mixed numberThis is called a mixed number or mixed fraction.
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
98 is an integer and there is no sensible way of representing it as a mixed fraction.
It is called a mixed number or a mixed fraction.
For addition and subtraction, nothing. For multiplication, nothing provided you are able to use the distributive property efficiently. For division the mixed fraction should be converted to a top-heavy fraction. Although this can help with the other operations, it is not a "must".
