To multiply a fraction by a whole number, you must treat the whole number as a fraction by using 1 as the denominator (bottom number of the fraction). Example: 3/4 x 5 would be written 3/4 x 5/1. Then multiply the two numerators (top numbers) together for the numerator of the product fraction, and multiply the two denominators together for the denominator of the product. Thus 3x5 = 15 and 4x1 = 4 which would be the product 15/4. The next step is to convert the fraction to a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator (15/4 = 3 r 3) which would be the final answer of 3-3/4.
Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
Multiply the whole number times the numerator. Divide the product by the denominator.
0.20 is a fraction of a number and so cannot be represented as a whole number.
Invert the fraction, and multiply it by the whole number.
You do not!3 is a whole number, 7/3 is a fraction.If you multiply the whole number by the fraction you get 3*(7/3) = 7, which is larger not smaller.
The question is ambiguous. Do you want to know how to multiply a fraction by a whole number, as well as by a mixed number? Or are you asking how to multiply a whole number by a mixed number and express the product as a fraction? Or what?
Any fraction can be multiplied by a whole number so that the product is a whole number. Simply multiply the fraction (in rational form) by its denominator.
No.
turn both fractions into decimals and then multiply!
Keep the same denominator, and multiply the numerator by the whole number.
Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. 1 7 × 5 = Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction or
It is larger because the two whole numbers form a greater, larger number when multiplpied together. It is smaller when u multiply a whole number by a fraction because a fraction is a decimal and u get a smaller number when multiplying a number like 1/7 of 5
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and proceed with the multiplication.
Multiply the numerator and the whole number. Put the total over the denominator. Simplify if possible.
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction, multiply by the whole number, convert the answer back to a mixed fraction (if required).
