Multiplication of Integers by a Fraction and a Mixed number: Multiplying mixed fractions by whole numbers

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
• Step 2: Multiply the whole number by the improper fraction.
• Step 3: Convert the result back to a mixed number if needed and simplify.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Convert the mixed number.
The mixed number given is $1\frac{1}{2}$.
To convert $1\frac{1}{2}$ into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number part (1) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1):
$1 \times 2 + 1 = 3$.
So, $1\frac{1}{2}$ converts to $\frac{3}{2}$.

Step 2: Multiply the whole number by the improper fraction.
Now we multiply the whole number 3 by the improper fraction $\frac{3}{2}$:
$3 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \times 3}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$.

Step 3: Convert the result to a mixed number.
The improper fraction $\frac{9}{2}$ can be converted into a mixed number by performing the division $9 \div 2$.
9 divided by 2 equals 4 with a remainder of 1, so $\frac{9}{2}$ is the same as $4\frac{1}{2}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $4\frac{1}{2}$.

To solve the problem $3 \times 1 \frac{1}{3}$, follow these steps:

• Convert the mixed number $1 \frac{1}{3}$ into an improper fraction.

Let's execute these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number $1 \frac{1}{3}$ to an improper fraction.
First, multiply the whole number part by the denominator: $1 \times 3 = 3$.
Then, add the numerator: $3 + 1 = 4$.
So, $1 \frac{1}{3}$ converts to $\frac{4}{3}$.

Step 2: Multiply the whole number $3$ by $\frac{4}{3}$.
The multiplication is performed as follows: $3 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 4}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $4$.

Step 1: Convert $2 \frac{1}{3}$ to an Improper Fraction

The mixed number $2 \frac{1}{3}$ can be converted to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number 2 by the denominator 3 and adding the numerator 1. Thus, $2 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{6 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$.

Step 2: Multiply by 2

Next, multiply the improper fraction $\frac{7}{3}$ by the whole number 2. Treat 2 as $\frac{2}{1}$ for multiplication: $\frac{7}{3} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{7 \times 2}{3 \times 1} = \frac{14}{3}$.

Step 3: Simplify or Convert the Improper Fraction

Finally, convert the improper fraction $\frac{14}{3}$ back to a mixed number, if desired:

• Divide the numerator by the denominator: $14 \div 3 = 4$ with a remainder of 2.
• This results in the mixed number $4\frac{2}{3}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $4\frac{2}{3}$.

So, $1\frac{1}{5}$ is equivalent to $\frac{6}{5}$.

Step 2: Multiply $4$ by $\frac{6}{5}$.

We perform the multiplication: $4 \times \frac{6}{5} = \frac{4 \times 6}{5} = \frac{24}{5}$.

Step 3: Convert $\frac{24}{5}$ back to a mixed number.

Divide 24 by 5 to find how many whole parts there are:
$24 \div 5 = 4$ with a remainder of 4.
Thus, $\frac{24}{5}$ can be expressed as $4\frac{4}{5}$.

• Step 1: Convert the mixed number $1\frac{1}{4}$ into an improper fraction. Use the formula: $\frac{ac + b}{c}$, where $a = 1$, $b = 1$, and $c = 4$. Therefore, $1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$.
• Step 2: Multiply the whole number $5$ by the improper fraction $\frac{5}{4}$:
  $5 \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5 \times 5}{4} = \frac{25}{4}$.
• Step 3: Convert the improper fraction $\frac{25}{4}$ back into a mixed number. Divide $25$ by $4$ to get $6$ as the whole number and the remainder is $1$, thus the mixed number is $6\frac{1}{4}$.
