okay this is how you multiply fractions wit whole numbers

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

Change the whole number to a fraction.

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!

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, you just multiply the top part of the fraction (numerator) by the whole number. For example

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.
