Hi there!
I can see why you've posted a question like this here - For adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing fractions by whole numbers can be difficult to come out with a precise answer, so let me make it look easier for you!
So, the steps are:
Smush the 2 (whole number) and the 2 (the numerator of the fraction) together on top so its (2)(2) over 6. I can show you what I mean, if you'd like.
This is what it should look like.
Now, what is 2 times 2? You can use a calculator for this part.
Now, we can get to the last part, my favorite one!
Simplify down to
.
How did we do it? EASY!
See what number does evenly into both numerators and denominators. In this case, 2 goes into 4 twice, and 2 goes into 6 three times, so we're left with our beautiful answer .
That wasn't so bad, was it? You can use this as a guide for figuring out math problems like these, in case you're stuck again. But just in case, message me if you need anymore help! :D
