Question

how to multiply a fraction with a whole number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take an example. 2/5 x 2.

Now, we have to make 2 a fraction. Every number divided by 1 is the number itself, so the fraction is 2/1. Now our question becomes 2/5 x 2/1. At this point, it becomes normal multiplication. While multiplying fractions, we multiply numerator by the other numerator and denominator with the other denominator, so 2 will be multiplied by 2 and 5 will be multiplied by 1. The answer will be 4/5.

                                     

Answer 2

Multiply the numerator with the whole number and write the denominator down.

Example:

$\frac{3}{4}$ × 6 = (6 × 3) / 4

= $\frac{18}{4}$
