Master the art of multiplying mixed numbers by whole numbers with this easy-to-follow worksheet. Understand the method through a detailed example, and practice by solving eight multiplication problems.
When teaching young kids to multiply mixed numbers by whole numbers, explain what a mixed number is - a whole number plus a fraction. Then, show them how to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. After that, multiply the fraction by the whole number (if the whole number is 3 and the fraction is 2/3, for example, we multiply 3/1 by 2/3 to get 6/3, equal to 2).
