  1. Multiplication of Fractions by Whole Numbers

  2. Occasions You Would Multiply a Fraction by a Whole Number • You walk a 4 mile route halfway. ½ of 4 or ½ x 4 • You walk a ¾ mile route twice. 2 x ¾

  3. Occasions You Would Multiply a Fraction by a Whole Number • A $12 ticket to the magic show is on sale for 2/3 of the original price. 2/3 of $12 or 2/3 x 12
