You multiply fractions by whole numbers by turning the whole numbers into a fraction. and then you multiply the two fractions.

 

There are 4 simple steps to multiply fractions by whole numbers

1. Change the whole number into a fraction by making the denominator a 1 and by making the whole number into the denominator.

2. Multiply the top numbers (the numerators).

3. Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators).

4. Simplify the fraction if needed.
