Remember: To multiply a fraction and a whole number: If the whole number is divisible by the denominator, divide the whole number by the denominator, then multiply the quotient and the numerator .
Remember: If the whole number is not divisible by the denominator, write the product of the whole number and the numerator over the same denominator, then simplify.
Example : Multiply 1 If the whole number is divisible by the denominator, divide the whole number by the denominator. 9 9 x 2 If yes, divide the whole number by the denominator. Is 9 divisible by 3? 9 3 9 3
Example : Multiply 3 Multiply the quotient and the numerator. 9 9 x 3 2 3 9 3 6 x 9 6
Example : Multiply 1 If the whole number is divisible by the denominator, divide the whole number by the denominator. 24 24 x 2 If yes, divide the whole number by the denominator. Is 24 divisible by 8? 24 8 24 3
Example : Multiply 3 Multiply the quotient and the numerator. 24 24 x 3 3 8 24 3 9 x 24 9
Example : Multiply 1 If the whole number is divisible by the denominator, divide the whole number by the denominator. 30 30 x 2 If yes, divide the whole number by the denominator. Is 30 divisible by 6? 30 5 30 5
Example : Multiply 3 Multiply the quotient and the numerator. 30 30 x 5 5 6 30 5 25 x 30 25
Example : Multiply 1 If the whole number is divisible by the denominator, divide the whole number by the denominator. 9 9 x 2 If NO, multiply the whole number and the numerator. Copy the denominator. Is 9 divisible by 5? 9
Example : Multiply 3 Simplify. 9 9 x 36 ÷ 5 7 R. 1 9 7
