Problem Description:


The task is to solve a series of multiplication problems involving whole numbers and fractions. Each problem involves multiplying a whole number by a fraction. The goal is to compute the results accurately.

Solution Approach:


1. Understand the Multiplication of Fractions:
- When multiplying a whole number by a fraction, treat the whole number as a fraction with a denominator of 1.
- Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
- Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

2. Solve Each Problem Step-by-Step:
- For each problem, follow the steps above to compute the result.

Step-by-Step Solutions:



#### Row 1:
1. $ 6 \times \frac{2}{3} $
- Convert 6 to a fraction: $ 6 = \frac{6}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{6}{1} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6 \times 2}{1 \times 3} = \frac{12}{3} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{12}{3} = 4 $.
- Answer: $ 4 $.

2. $ 5 \times \frac{8}{10} $
- Convert 5 to a fraction: $ 5 = \frac{5}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{5}{1} \times \frac{8}{10} = \frac{5 \times 8}{1 \times 10} = \frac{40}{10} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{40}{10} = 4 $.
- Answer: $ 4 $.

3. $ 4 \times \frac{2}{7} $
- Convert 4 to a fraction: $ 4 = \frac{4}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{4}{1} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{4 \times 2}{1 \times 7} = \frac{8}{7} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{8}{7} $ (already in simplest form).
- Answer: $ \frac{8}{7} $.

#### Row 2:
4. $ 2 \times \frac{1}{3} $
- Convert 2 to a fraction: $ 2 = \frac{2}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{2}{1} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 1}{1 \times 3} = \frac{2}{3} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{2}{3} $ (already in simplest form).
- Answer: $ \frac{2}{3} $.

5. $ 3 \times \frac{3}{8} $
- Convert 3 to a fraction: $ 3 = \frac{3}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{3}{1} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 3}{1 \times 8} = \frac{9}{8} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{9}{8} $ (already in simplest form).
- Answer: $ \frac{9}{8} $.

6. $ 8 \times \frac{4}{6} $
- Convert 8 to a fraction: $ 8 = \frac{8}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{8}{1} \times \frac{4}{6} = \frac{8 \times 4}{1 \times 6} = \frac{32}{6} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{32}{6} = \frac{16}{3} $.
- Answer: $ \frac{16}{3} $.

#### Row 3:
7. $ 9 \times \frac{1}{2} $
- Convert 9 to a fraction: $ 9 = \frac{9}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{9}{1} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9 \times 1}{1 \times 2} = \frac{9}{2} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{9}{2} $ (already in simplest form).
- Answer: $ \frac{9}{2} $.

8. $ 10 \times \frac{4}{5} $
- Convert 10 to a fraction: $ 10 = \frac{10}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{10}{1} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{10 \times 4}{1 \times 5} = \frac{40}{5} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{40}{5} = 8 $.
- Answer: $ 8 $.

9. $ 6 \times \frac{2}{8} $
- Convert 6 to a fraction: $ 6 = \frac{6}{1} $.
- Multiply: $ \frac{6}{1} \times \frac{2}{8} = \frac{6 \times 2}{1 \times 8} = \frac{12}{8} $.
- Simplify: $ \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} $.
- Answer: $ \frac{3}{2} $.

#### Row 4:
