If doing it without a calculator, then convert each mixed fraction into a top-heavy equivalent fraction and then multiply as for fractions.

How do you times mixed fractions?

My strategy for multiplying mixed fractions: what you need to do is turn the mixed number into an improper fraction before you do any thing else. to do that you need to multiply the denominator with the whole number then add the numerator. now that number will be your numerator the denominator stays the same then you do the same to the other mixed fraction turn it into an improper fraction then once both are like that you multiply the numerators together to find the numerator then you multiply the denominators together to get the denominator then simplify your answer to get the right answer.


How do you multiply improper fractions with simple fractions?

Multiply the numerator by the numerator, and the denominator by the denominator. If you find this explanation unclear, take this example: 9/8 (improper fraction) x 3/4 (simple fraction) = 27/32 (answer)---if you can simplify it, do so. If it is a mixed number (e.g. 1 3/4), change the mixed number to an improper fraction and follow the steps above. The same applies to simple fraction multiplying by simple fraction.


What is regular fractions?

The terms for fractions are common, improper and mixed numeral.Common fractions have a numerator that is smaller than the denominator.Improper fractions have a greater numerator than denominator.Mixed numeral has a whole number next to a common fraction.


What is the fraction for fractions greater than 1?

What are examples of mixed fraction?

A mixed fraction is another way of writing fractions. Mixed fractions include a whole number and a fraction. For example, 2-1/2 is a mixed fraction. But it's equivalent value 5/2 is not a mixed fraction but an improper fraction.
