We're hoping that nobody ever taught you that every fraction has a
"whole number" connected to it somehow. It doesn't.
Let's put it as simply as we can: If you have one half of a Pizza, then
how many whole pizzas is that ? And if you have one half of a dollar,
then how many whole dollars is that ?
One half is just what it says . . . one half. There is no whole number for it.
You'd need to get another half from somewhere and put them together
just to make the smallest whole number there is.

Four and one-half cannot be represented by a whole number. It can be represented by 4.5 or the improper fraction 9/2
number of fourths needed to make 2 whole and one half = 10
One half multiplied by one is equal to one half. This is because when you multiply a fraction by a whole number, you simply multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number while keeping the denominator the same. In this case, 1/2 multiplied by 1 equals 1/2.
A mixed number can't become a whole number, unless it's something like 2 and 8/4, which no one would ever write.
