Suppose we want to multiply a mixed number by a whole number:
To do this, we perform the following steps:
Step 1: Convert both numbers to improper fractions. Here, the number can be expressed as the improper fraction and the mixed number can be expressed as the improper fraction
Step 2: Multiply the resulting fractions together. We multiply the numerators, and we multiply the denominators:
Step 3: Simplify or convert back to a mixed number (if necessary):
Therefore, the final result is
Calculate the value of expressing the result as a mixed number.
First, we write as an improper fraction:
We also write as an improper fraction:
Now, we can multiply the numbers. We multiply the numerators, and we multiply the denominators:
Finally, we write the resulting improper fraction as a mixed number:

First, we write as an improper fraction:
We also write as an improper fraction:
So now, we need to solve the following multiplication problem:
Notice that the first fraction's denominator () and the second fraction's numerator () have a common factor of
Therefore, we can simplify our problem by swapping the denominators first and then multiplying the resulting fractions:
Finally, we write the resulting improper fraction as a mixed number:
