Answer:
Any whole number is over one...so if the whole number was 5 it would be [tex]\frac{5}{1}[/tex] bkuz the line in between the numerator and denominator is a dividing sign and 5 divided by 1 is 5
So you put the whole number whatever it is over 1 then multiply that by the fraction
Example:
6 x [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is the same as saying [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] which equals [tex]\frac{18}{4}[/tex] because 6 times 3 equals 18 and 4 times 1 equals 4
Now you need to simplify or divide...
So, [tex]\frac{18}{4}[/tex] is the same as [tex]4 \frac{2}{4}[/tex] or [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bkuz 4 goes into 18 4 and a half times
