improper fraction and multiply as you would any fractions.<br />
For example: 2 x 3<br />

multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the<br />
numerator.<br />
a. 2 ¼ =<br />
b. 3 ⅕ =<br />
4<br />
2. Cross out what you can: (4 goes into 16 four times)<br />
3. Now multiply<br />
1<br />
4. is your answer - now put it into a mixed number.<br />
5. 36 ÷ 5 = 7 with 1 left over.<br />
