Multiplication of integers by a fraction and a mixed number - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

Multiplying a whole number by a fraction and a mixed number is solved in the following steps:

The first step:

Convert each whole number and mixed number into a similar fraction and rewrite the problem.

The second stage:

Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.

The multiplication of numerators will be written in the new numerator.

The multiplication of denominators will be written in the new denominator.

Practice Multiplication of integers by a fraction and a mixed number

Exercise #1

4.11.63.2+4.7=? 4.1\cdot1.6\cdot3.2+4.7=\text{?}

Step-by-Step Solution

We convert decimal numbers into mixed fractions:

4110×1610×3210+4710= 4\frac{1}{10}\times1\frac{6}{10}\times3\frac{2}{10}+4\frac{7}{10}=

Now, we convert mixed fractions into simple fractions:

4110×1610×3210+4710= \frac{41}{10}\times\frac{16}{10}\times\frac{32}{10}+\frac{47}{10}=

We solve the exercise from left to right:

41×1610×10=656100 \frac{41\times16}{10\times10}=\frac{656}{100}

Now we get the exercise:

656100×3210+4710= \frac{656}{100}\times\frac{32}{10}+\frac{47}{10}=

We solve the multiplication exercise:

656×32100×10=20,9921,000 \frac{656\times32}{100\times10}=\frac{20,992}{1,000}

Now we get the exercise:

20,9921,000+4710= \frac{20,992}{1,000}+\frac{47}{10}=

We multiply the fraction on the right so that its denominator is also 1000:

47×10010×100=4,7001,000 \frac{47\times100}{10\times100}=\frac{4,700}{1,000}

We get the exercise:

20,9921,000+4,7001,000=20,992+4,7001,000=25,6921,000 \frac{20,992}{1,000}+\frac{4,700}{1,000}=\frac{20,992+4,700}{1,000}=\frac{25,692}{1,000}

We convert the simple fraction into a decimal number:

25,6921,000=25.692 \frac{25,692}{1,000}=25.692

Answer

25.692
