Question

How do you multiply a fraction by a normal number like 2 times 3/7

Answer 1

To do that, make the normal number a fraction as well. So, in this case, the normal number would become 2/1 then multiply it by 3/7 to get 6/7

Answer 2

Remember
$(\frac{a}{b}) \space\ times \space\ (\frac{c}{d})=$
$\frac{a \space\ times \space\ c}{b \space\ times \space\ d}=$
$\frac{ac}{bd}$

remember that $a=\frac{a}{1}$

therefor

$2 \space\ times \space\ \frac{3}{7}=$
$\frac{2}{1}\space\ times \space\ \frac{3}{7}=$
$\frac{2*3}{1*7}=$
$\frac{6}{7}$
