Multiply Fractions By Whole Numbers Worksheet - Free Printable

Here are the solutions to the fraction multiplication problems.

To solve these, remember the rule: Multiply the whole number by the top number (numerator) of the fraction. The bottom number (denominator) stays the same. Then, simplify the fraction if you can.

1. $2 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4}$ which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$
2. $7 \times \frac{4}{6} = \frac{28}{6}$ which simplifies to $4 \frac{4}{6}$ or $4 \frac{2}{3}$
3. $4 \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{8}{8}$ which equals $1$
4. $7 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$ which equals $4 \frac{2}{3}$
5. $5 \times \frac{2}{4} = \frac{10}{4}$ which simplifies to $2 \frac{2}{4}$ or $2 \frac{1}{2}$
6. $8 \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{56}{8}$ which equals $7$
7. $5 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{10}{3}$ which equals $3 \frac{1}{3}$
8. $2 \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{10}{8}$ which simplifies to $1 \frac{2}{8}$ or $1 \frac{1}{4}$
9. $5 \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$
10. $3 \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{8}$ which equals $2 \frac{5}{8}$
11. $4 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$ which equals $2 \frac{2}{3}$
12. $1 \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$
13. $7 \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}$
14. $4 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$ which equals $1$
15. $2 \times \frac{2}{4} = \frac{4}{4}$ which equals $1$
16. $1 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$
17. $7 \times \frac{2}{4} = \frac{14}{4}$ which simplifies to $3 \frac{2}{4}$ or $3 \frac{1}{2}$
18. $5 \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{30}{8}$ which simplifies to $3 \frac{6}{8}$ or $3 \frac{3}{4}$
