Question

How to multiply whole numbers by fractions​

Answer 1

Answer:

Any whole number is over one...so if the whole number was 5 it would be $\frac{5}{1}$ bkuz the line in between the numerator and denominator is a dividing sign and 5 divided by 1 is 5

So you put the whole number whatever it is over 1 then multiply that by the fraction

Example:

6 x $\frac{3}{4}$ is the same as saying $\frac{6}{1}$ x $\frac{3}{4}$ which equals $\frac{18}{4}$ because 6 times 3 equals 18 and 4 times 1 equals 4

Now you need to simplify or divide...

So, $\frac{18}{4}$ is the same as $4 \frac{2}{4}$ or $4\frac{1}{2}$ bkuz 4 goes into 18 4 and a half times
