Study Notes 4.1 Multiplication of Fractions and Whole Numbers

  1. Multiply the numerator by the whole number.

5/12  x  8  = 5×8/12

      2.  Solve the equation and express the answer in its simplest form.

5×8/12  =  40/12  =  10/3

=    3 1/3

E.g

2/9  x  10  =  20/9

=  9/9  +  9/9  +  2/9

=  2 2/9
