Question

How do you multiply a fraction by a normal number like 2 times 3/7

Answer 1

remember

`((a)/(b)) \space\ times \space\ ((c)/(d))=`

`(a \space\ times \space\ c)/(b \space\ times \space\ d)=`

`(ac)/(bd)`

remember that
`a=(a)/(1)`

therefor


`2 \space\ times \space\ (3)/(7)=`

`(2)/(1)\space\ times \space\ (3)/(7)=`

`(2*3)/(1*7)=`

`(6)/(7)`

Answer 2

To do that, make the normal number a fraction as well. So, in this case, the normal number would become 2/1 then multiply it by 3/7 to get 6/7
