Answer: Its not the same because when you multiply by a mixed number you will more than likely turn the mixed number to a improper fraction

This is a prediction however, a whole number 5 multiplied by a mixed number 1 1/2 is the same as multiplying 2 mixed numbers 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 the same because if you turn this 1 and 1/2 into an improper fraction ( 3/2 it's the same as 5 which can be used as 5/1 so then the improper fraction 3/2 multiplied by another 3/2 will get another mixed number. Simply a mixed number times a whole is the same as 2 mixed numbers multiplied because they both get mixed numbers as a result! I THINK
