Product of Whole Numbers and Mixed Numbers

The video tutorial explains how to work with mixed numbers and improper fractions, focusing on their values being greater than one. It demonstrates how to approximate the product of a mixed number and a whole number by identifying the whole numbers between which the mixed number lies. The tutorial uses examples to show how to estimate products without direct calculation, helping to solve problems efficiently. The lesson concludes with a summary of the approximation strategy.

What is the value of 7 halves as a mixed number?

• 5 1/2

• 2 1/2

• 3 1/2

• 4 1/2

If 3 1/2 is more than 3 but less than 4, what can be said about the product of 8 and 3 1/2?

• It is less than 24

• It is exactly 24

• It is between 24 and 32

• It is more than 32

When approximating the product of 5 1/3 and 6, which whole number is just less than 5 1/3?

• 6

• 7

• 4

If 5 1/3 is rounded up to 6, what is the product of 6 and 6?

• 36

• 34

• 30

• 32

Using approximation, what is the product of 5 1/3 and 6?

• 37
