How do I multiply whole numbers and fractions Example 250 × 41/50 × 22/55

Multiplying Fractions:

1. Make sure you're working with two fractions.
2. Multiply numerator x numerator, then multiply denominator x denominator.

Dividing Fractions:

1. Make sure you're working with two fractions
2. Flip the second fraction upside down.
3. Change the division sign into a multiplication sign.
4. Multiply top x top and bottom x bottom.

Converting Mixed Numbers into Improper Fractions:

1. Convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.
2. Take the whole (non-fraction) number and multiply it by the denominator.
3. Add that answer to the numerator.
4. Put that amount over the original denominator and you will have an improper fraction.

Method for Adding and Subtracting Fractions:

1. Find the lowest common denominator (bottom number). For both adding and subtracting fractions, you'll start with the same process.
2. Multiply fractions to match the lowest common denominator.
3. Add or subtract the two numerators (top number) but NOT the denominators.

This answer is correct. 4/12 divided by 2/2= 1/3
The reciprocal of 2/2 is 2/2
Then you multiply straight across and reduce to get 1/3

I think of pizzas when doing fractions. If you cut the four full pizzas into thirds, how many slices will you have? Add this to the two other slices and you get your improper fraction.

So, to make an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and add it to the numerator. To get more improper fractions, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Hi Anonymous,
You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both top and bottom by the same amount, but only multiply or divide, never add or subtract, to get an equivalent fraction.
I've only shown the fraction part of your question as 1 is a whole number.
1/2 = 2/4, or 4/8, or 8/16 or 16/32 or 32/64 & so on.
Going the other way, dividing 2/4 by 2 will give 1/2.
But, only divide when the top and bottom would still be whole numbers, for instance you wouldn't use divide for odd number fractions, for example 1/3 or 3/5 etc.
Trust this helps, best regards Alan

Divide fraction top into bottom and then multiply by whole number!

How to convert percent to fraction

1. Divide the percent by 100 to get decimal number.
2. Count the number of digits (d) to the right of the decimal point of the decimal number.Example: 2.56 has 2 digits to the right of the decimal point, so d=2.
3. Calculate the factor (f) for making the decimal number an integer: f = 10 to power d
   Example:
   f = 10 power 2 = 100
   
4. Multiply and divide the decimal number x by the factor f: x * f / f = y / f
   Example:
   2.56 * 100 / 100 = 256 / 100
   
5. Find the greatest common divisor (gcd) of the fraction. Example:
   gcd(256,100) = 4
   
6. Reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the gcd value: Example:
   256 / 100 = (256/4) / (100/4) = 64/25
   

Example One percent is equal to one hundredth:
1% = 1/100
So in order to convert percent to fraction, divide the percent by 100% and reduce the fraction.
For example 56% is equal to 56/100 with gcd=4 is equal to 14/25:
56% = 56/100 = 14/25

(a/b)*c=(a*c)/b
Reduce the resulting fraction
Example
(5/7)*3=(5*3)/7=15/7

Convert each mixed number (what you call mixed fraction) to an improper fraction, then multiply the two numerators and multiply the two denominators. Reduce the resulting fraction to its simplest form

Example
(2 1/3)*(1 5/7)=?
Convert 2 1/3 to an improper fraction 2 1/3=2+ 1/3 = 6/3+1/3=7/3
Convert 1 5/7 to an improper fraction 1 5/7=1+ 5/7 =7/7 +5/7=12/7
(2 1/3)*(1 5/7)= (7/3)*(12/7)= (7*12)/(3*7)
The 7's in the numerator and denominator cancel one another leaving
12/3=4
(2 1/3)*(1 5/7)=4
Not all products of mixed numbers will give a simple result as this one. More likely they will not.

find the least common denominator between the original fraction into the new fraction.
example, 1/2 to 2/4 to 4/8 to 8/16.

Hello,
Press [MATH][1:ToFrac] to convert an aswer to fraction.
If you enter 18.52[ToFrac] [ENTER gives 463/25

[MATH][2:ToDEC] converts a fraction to a decimal number.
Hope it helps.
