To multiply a whole number by a fraction, you can first write the whole number as a fraction by placing the whole number in the numerator and 1 in the denominator. Does following this step change the product? Explain.

no, dividing by 1 will leave you with the whole number you started with

6/1 = 6
8/1 = 8
n/1 =n

and so on . . .
