Step-by-step solution for: Multiplying mixed fractions by whole numbers - Worksheet No.3 ...
Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem on the worksheet.
How to solve these:
1. Mixed Numbers (like $1 \frac{2}{3}$): Change them into improper fractions first. Multiply the whole number by the bottom number (denominator), then add the top number (numerator). Keep the same bottom number.
* *Example:* $1 \frac{2}{3} \rightarrow (1 \times 3) + 2 = 5$. So, it becomes $\frac{5}{3}$.
2. Whole Numbers (like 12): Imagine there is a "1" on the bottom. So, 12 becomes $\frac{12}{1}$.
3. Multiply: Multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together.
4. Simplify: If the answer is an improper fraction (top is bigger than bottom), turn it back into a mixed number. If possible, simplify the fraction part.
