Learn to Multiply Fractions & Understand Improper Fractions & Mixed Numbers - [29]

In this lesson, you will learn how to multiply a fraction by a whole number. We will write every whole number as a fraction, then multiply the fractions together. The resulting answer in many cases will be an improper fraction, which can be converted into a mixed number. When multiplying fractions, we first multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together. This will form the answer which can be simplified as usual to lowest terms. If we get an improper fraction as a result, it represents that we have more than one whole item. We divide the numerator by the denominator as usual and obtain the remainder. This forms the basis of the mixed number representation of the answer. We also use models and pictures to visualize what an improper fraction actually means and how it relates to the corresponding mixed number.

I just want to say thank you, I’ve been studying hard for my GED, and math is my weakest subject. I’ve been watching videos on “Mathematics” I came across your channel and I’m so glad that I did. I have been looking for someone who can help me understand the difference between these fractions to decimal to percentages, to improper fractions, etc. your channel is the best video I’ve came across.. I’ve learned more in these past few days than I have in the last two months in class.. Again thank you for your help and keep up the great work... 👍🏼. Full of knowledge and illustrations..

Dear Jason, Once again you've shown how simple this really can be. As always thank you for all the years of math and beyond. You are by far the Best teacher I have ever been able to watch. I knew little about math and jumped right into your Matrix multiplication dvd's (that's what the library had) I've since passed my GED and am second year in college. Keep up the great work, and it's really great to watch your teaching style. I'm using your methods in most of what I do here. Thank you, Jim..

You make math understandable. Was watching another video for 4th grade child. Enjoyed the teaching so much that I started other lessons for fun for myself.
