Question

How do you multiply mixed numbers the easy way?

Answer 1

Umm... let's say we got 2 1/4... u would multiply the denominator (4) with the number outside (2) ...which gives you 8 and then add the numerator (1).. and then you get 9. And you don't change the denominator so i would get 9/4.

Answer 2

Well if you are talking about mixed fractions you can multiply it by a whole number. If you learned multiplication, just multiply your denominator and numerator by the whole number. If you are trying find a different answer please tell me immediately. (Example: 1/3 X 2 = 2/6 |||| 1 X 2 = 2 ||| 3 X 2 = 6||| 2/6)
