How do you multiply a fraction of a number by a whole number?

so you have the fraction, ex: 2/4 (fraction) x 2 (whole number).

you put the whole number, 2, over 1. so it's 2/4 x 2/1. then you go ahead and multiply (assuming you know how to do that.)

2

_ x 2 , you can change to 2 2

_ x _

4 4 1
