One method of multiplying two mixed fractions is to convert them to improper fractions and then multiply the numerators to obtain the new numerator and multiply the denominators to obtain the new denominator. The new improper fraction then can be changed to a mixed fraction. For examples: 1 2/7 x 2 1/5 = 9/7 x 11/5 = 99/35 = 2 29/35. 7 1/2 x 3 1/4 = 15/2 x 13/4 = 195/8 = 24 3/8.

How do you multiply a fraction bye a mixed fraction?

You would have to convert the mixed number into a fraction, or you could convert the fraction into a mixed number. The first one is easier in my opinion. For example: 2 3/4 is 11/4. Converting a fraction into a mixed number is just as easy but it is harder to multiply To multiply a mixed fraction by a fraction you will need to multiply the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) by the whole number then add the numerator (the top number of a fraction) and that will be your new numerator. Then multiply the two fractions (straight across). Finally put you final answer in simplest form if needed.


How do you times a mixed fraction by a whole number?

As an example 2 3/5 X 7 First convert the mixed number to an improper fraqction Hence 2 3/5 = 13/5 Next we convert the '7' to an improper fraction by placing it over a trivial '1'. Hence '7' = '7/1'. Re-writing 13/5 x 7/1 We separate;y multiply the numerators together, and the denominators together. Hence 13/5 X 7/1 = 91/5 Finally we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction by dividing by '5' , which will give an answer of '18' and a remainder of '1' Hence it is re-written as ' 18 1/5 '. The answer. NB Whenthe numbers become large , look to see if you can cancel down /reduce. So amending the above numbers slightly. 2 3/5 X 5 = > 13/5 X 5/1 In this case '5' is a common factor ; top & bottom'. so we cancel down by '5' Hence 13/1 X 1/1 proceeding as before. 13 / 1 = 13 The answer!!!!! These methods are good for any set of frqactional numbers.

What is a algorithm for multiplying fractions by mixed numbers?

Divide out the fraction ie 5/8 = 0.625 (decimal form), then multiply with your existing mixed number (assuming its a decimal) > If its a fraction and a mixed fraction however, change the mixed fraction to vulgar fraction first then multiply tops and bottoms, to reveal final fraction ie 5/8 * 1 3/4 becomes 5/8 * 7/4 multiply tops and bottoms = 35/32 change back to mixed fraction = 1 3/32
