you turn the whole number into a fraction by putting it over one. example: 3/4 x 5 = 3/4 x 5/1 then you multiply like you do with all other fractions: 3/4 x 5/1 = 15/4 then you have to change the improper fraction into a mixed number 15/4= 3 3/4

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.
