    When multiplying fractions and whole numbers, you either turn the fraction into a decimal, or the whole number into a fraction.

    For example, the solution for 2/5 (8) can be found by turning 2/5 into a decimal (0.4) and multiplying that by 8, or by turning 8 into a fraction (8/1) and multiplying those together.

    You will get 3.2 and 16/5. 16/5 can be simplified to be 3 1/5, or 3.2. As you can see, either method works and will give you the same answer.

    You put the whole number on top of 1, it doesnt change its value. then you simplify across like in a butterfly only if needed then you multiply across from left to right.
