Question

How do you multiply mixed numbers with fractions

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must convert them to improper fractions.

For example, if you have 1⅔, you write it as (3×1+2)/3 = 5/3.

Or, if you have 3½, you write it as (2×3+1)/2 = 7/2.

Next, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.  For example, 5/3 × 7/2 = 35/6.

Finally, you convert back to a mixed number by dividing.  For example, 6 goes into 35 5 times with a remainder of 5.

35/6 = 5⅚

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You first turn the mixed number into an improper fraction by mutliplying the denominator by the whole number then adding the numerator to the product. Make sure to keep the denominator the same and just put the sum as the numerator. Then, you multiply the fractions and simplify your answer! Hope this helped!
