Question

How would you multiply fractions to whole numbers?

Answer 1

You could just multiply the whole number with the numerator and then divide the answer by the denominator. Or you could write the whole number over 1, and then simplify the numbers before multiplying straight across. 

2/3 x 36
2/3 x 36/1
2/1 x 12/1  (simplified the 3 and the 36)
24/1=24  (just multiplied across)

Answer 2

Oh I learned actually like 1 week ago I think so my teacher told me that if you multiply a fraction with a whole number than the answer has to be a fraction if you multiply a whole number with a fraction it has to be a whole number
