$4 \frac{1}{4} \times 6$

$4 \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{6}{1}$

$\frac{17}{4} \times \frac{6}{1}$

Reduce the numbers to their simplest forms.

2 and 6 are both divisible by 2. So I reduced them, which resulted in 6 becoming 3 and 4 becoming 2 (Since 2 × 3 = 6 and 2 × 2 = 4)

Thus,

$\frac{17 \times 3}{2 \times 1} = \frac{51}{2}$

If you want, you can convert it into mixed fraction.

On converting it, we get the mixed fraction -:

$25 \frac{1}{2}$

Quotient -: 25.

Reminder = 1.

How to convert an improper fraction into mixed fraction?

To convert an improper fraction into mixed fraction, just divide the numerator by the denominator. Find the quotient and let the reminder be, you don't need to find the answer in decimals. Now, the quotient you got will be the whole of the mixed fraction, the reminder will be the numerator and the divisor will be the denominator.

Can we convert a proper fraction into mixed fraction?

No, its impossible to convert a proper fraction into mixed fraction because in this process, you divide the numerator by the denominator, and in a proper fraction, the numerator is always smaller than the denominator, so you can't divide them without finding the answer in decimals, and you won't get the mixed fraction that way.

So, whenever you see a proper fraction as your answer, just let it be like that. You don't need to try and convert it into mixed fraction.

Is it necessary to convert an improper fraction into mixed fraction to get the right answer?

Though its not necessary to convert an improper fraction into a mixed fraction to get the right answer, since their values are the same, I will still recommend converting it into a mixed fraction. Because, many teachers don't like this and they may cut your marks.
