multiply and divide fractions!-.-
You simply put the whole number over one making it a fraction then you flip the reciprocal and divide the two fractions insted of multiplying.
Well first of all you might want to try spelling whole with a "W".
Multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
You have to multiply the bottom number by the whole number. then add it to the top number. EX: 1/2+3=7/2
By putting the whole numbers with a one at the bottom so it will be a denominator and multiply
Fractions that multiply to get 1 whole are reciprocals, or multiplicative inverses.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Mixed Fractions are fractions that have whole numbers and fractions on the side.If you are trying to change them into improper fractions you take the denominator of the fraction and multiply it by the whole number and keep the same numerator. ex.: 2 and one fourth =
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same whole number.
To get a fraction of another fraction you have to multiply the fractions. To multiply fractions, just use this simple algorithm: Step 1-Turn all whole numbers and mixed numbers into improper fractions. Step 2-Multiply the numerators of the 2 fractions. The answer to that problem will be the numerator of the answer. Step 3-Multiply the denominators of the 2 fractions. The answer to that problem will be the denominator of the answer. Step 4-Reduce.
Because fractions aren't whole numbers
More than that. You need to multiply the whole number, the farctions AND cross multiply the whole numbers and the fractions. Then add together all the answers. Thus, 23/4 * 56/7 = 2*5 + (3/4*6/7) + 2*6/7 + 3/4*5 Actually, it is far simpler to convert the mixed fractions to improper (top heavy) fractions, and then multiply the numerators together to give the numerator of the answer and multiply the denominators together to give the denominators of the answer.
No, you flip the whole fraction which follows the division sign.
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?

The whole number, 6, can be written as 6/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
