Fractions XIV Multiplication of Fractions With Mixed Numbers

This document discusses multiplying fractions with mixed numbers. It provides examples of when you would multiply a mixed number by a fraction, such as finding half of 2 1/4 miles. It explains that when multiplying a positive mixed number by a fraction between 0 and 1, the product is less than the mixed number. The steps for multiplying fractions with mixed numbers are: 1) Change any mixed numbers to improper fractions, 2) Multiply the numerators, 3) Multiply the denominators, and 4) Simplify the answer. Worked examples demonstrating these steps are included.
