What does it mean to multiply a fraction by a whole number?

• It means to take the fraction and divide it by the whole number.

• It means to take that fraction and add it to itself as many times as the whole number indicates.

• It means to convert the fraction into a decimal and then multiply.

How do you multiply fractions?

• To multiply fractions, add the numerators and add the denominators: @@\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a + c}{b + d}@@.

• To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: @@\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \times c}{b \times d}@@.

• To multiply fractions, subtract the numerators and subtract the denominators: @@\frac{a}{b} - \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a - c}{b - d}@@.

• To multiply fractions, divide the numerators and divide the denominators: @@\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \div c}{b \div d}@@.
