Like say you have 2 2/4. You multipy the whole number by the bottom and add the top number to it and that is the product. so pretty much 2 times 4=8 plus the 2 on the top soo 8+2=10
If you want to multiply 2/3 x 4, make 4 into a fraction:
3/3 = 1,
4 x 3/3 = 12/3, so
2/3 x 12/3 (because 3 x 4 = 12),
2/3 x 12/3 = 24/3, or 8 (24 divided by 3).
You can check it by multiplying the numerator (top number) of the fraction by the whole number (4).
Good Luck!
5(1/4) = 5/4, makes sense right?
5(3/4) = 15/4 etc.
To get a whole number product, multiply the fraction by the bottom part of the fraction (denominator) or by some multiple of the bottom part:
4(3/4) = 12/4 = 3, or 20(3/4) = 60/4 = 15, etc.
Now you can do the other ones yourself, I think.
