Problem: Solve the mixed multiplication problems from the worksheet.
#### Worksheet Details
The worksheet is titled "Mixed Multiplication Problems" and is designed for Grade 6 students. It involves multiplying fractions, mixed numbers, and whole numbers. The task is to find the product of each given expression.
#### Solution Approach
1. Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions: If any of the numbers are mixed numbers (e.g., $ 4 \frac{3}{6} $), convert them to improper fractions.
2. Multiply Fractions: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
3. Simplify the Result: Reduce the resulting fraction to its simplest form if possible.
4. Convert Back to Mixed Numbers: If the result is an improper fraction, convert it back to a mixed number.
Let's solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1: $ 6 \times 12 \frac{1}{2} $
- Convert $ 12 \frac{1}{2} $ to an improper fraction:
$$
12 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{12 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{25}{2}
$$
- Multiply:
$$
6 \times \frac{25}{2} = \frac{6 \times 25}{2} = \frac{150}{2} = 75
$$
- Answer: $ 75 $
---
Problem 2: $ 4 \frac{3}{6} \times 11 \frac{7}{12} $
- Simplify $ 4 \frac{3}{6} $:
$$
4 \frac{3}{6} = 4 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}
$$
- Simplify $ 11 \frac{7}{12} $:
$$
11 \frac{7}{12} = \frac{11 \times 12 + 7}{12} = \frac{139}{12}
$$
- Multiply:
$$
\frac{9}{2} \times \frac{139}{12} = \frac{9 \times 139}{2 \times 12} = \frac{1251}{24}
$$
- Simplify $ \frac{1251}{24} $:
$$
\frac{1251}{24} = 52 \frac{3}{8} \quad (\text{since } 1251 \div 24 = 52 \text{ remainder } 3)
$$
- Answer: $ 52 \frac{3}{8} $
---
Problem 3: $ 3 \frac{3}{8} \times 1 \frac{1}{3} $
- Convert $ 3 \frac{3}{8} $ to an improper fraction:
$$
3 \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 8 + 3}{8} = \frac{27}{8}
$$
- Convert $ 1 \frac{1}{3} $ to an improper fraction:
$$
1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
$$
- Multiply:
$$
\frac{27}{8} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{27 \times 4}{8 \times 3} = \frac{108}{24}
$$
- Simplify $ \frac{108}{24} $:
$$
\frac{108}{24} = \frac{9}{2} = 4 \frac{1}{2}
$$
- Answer: $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $
---

$$
- Multiply:
$$
\frac{7}{9} \times \frac{32}{5} = \frac{7 \times 32}{9 \times 5} = \frac{224}{45}
$$
- Simplify $ \frac{224}{45} $:
$$
\frac{224}{45} = 4 \frac{44}{45}
$$
- Answer: $ 4 \frac{44}{45} $
---
Problem 5: $ \frac{4}{5} \times 6 \frac{1}{4} $
- Convert $ 6 \frac{1}{4} $ to an improper fraction:
$$
6 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{6 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}
$$
- Multiply:
$$
\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{25}{4} = \frac{4 \times 25}{5 \times 4} = \frac{100}{20} = 5
$$
- Answer: $ 5 $
---
Problem 6: $ \frac{4}{10} \times 4 \frac{1}{3} $
- Simplify $ \frac{4}{10} $:
$$

- Convert $ 4 \frac{1}{3} $ to an improper fraction:
$$
4 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}
$$
- Multiply:
$$
\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{13}{3} = \frac{2 \times 13}{5 \times 3} = \frac{26}{15}
