Multiply fractions with whole numbers Interactive Worksheet - Edform - Free Printable

Let’s solve each problem step by step.

---

Problem a:

We see 3 rows of rectangles. Each row has 7 equal parts, and 4 are shaded.

So, in one row: 4 out of 7 → that’s 4/7

There are 3 identical rows → so we multiply:
4/7 × 3 = 12/7

Now convert to mixed number:
12 ÷ 7 = 1 with remainder 5 → 1 5/7

✔ Final Answer for a: 1 5/7

Problem b:

We see 3 rows. Each row has 9 equal parts, and 8 are shaded.

So, in one row: 8 out of 9 → 8/9

Multiply by 3 rows:
8/9 × 3 = 24/9

Simplify 24/9: divide numerator and denominator by 3 → 8/3

Convert to mixed number: 8 ÷ 3 = 2 with remainder 2 → 2 2/3

✔ Final Answer for b: 2 2/3

Problem c:

We see 6 squares. Each square is divided into 4 equal parts (like a window pane), and 1 part is green.

So, in one square: 1 out of 4 → 1/4

There are 6 squares → multiply:
1/4 × 6 = 6/4

Simplify 6/4: divide by 2 → 3/2

Convert to mixed number: 3 ÷ 2 = 1 with remainder 1 → 1 1/2

✔ Final Answer for c: 1 1/2

---

Problem d:

We see 3 circles. Each circle is divided into 3 equal parts, and 2 parts are shaded.

So, in one circle: 2 out of 3 → 2/3

Multiply by 3 circles:
2/3 × 3 = 6/3 = 2

That’s a whole number → no fraction needed.

✔ Final Answer for d: 2

Problem e:

We see 7 triangles. Each triangle is split into 2 equal parts (left and right), and 1 part is red.

So, in one triangle: 1 out of 2 → 1/2

Multiply by 7 triangles:
1/2 × 7 = 7/2

Convert to mixed number: 7 ÷ 2 = 3 with remainder 1 → 3 1/2

✔ Final Answer for e: 3 1/2

Final Answer:
a. 1 5/7
b. 2 2/3
c. 1 1/2
d. 2
e. 3 1/2
