Multiply Fractions and Whole Numbers

1. Rewrite the whole number as a fraction: Place the whole number over 1. For example, to multiply 6 by 5/2, rewrite 6 as 6/1.
2. Multiply the numerators: Multiply the top number of the first fraction (the whole number’s numerator) by the top number of the second fraction.
3. Multiply the denominators: Multiply the bottom number of the first fraction (1) by the bottom number of the second fraction.
4. Simplify the fraction: If the resulting fraction is an improper fraction (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator), convert it to a mixed number.
