When multiplying a whole number by a fraction, you can think of it as taking a certain number of parts from the whole. For instance, \( 2 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \), which can also be understood as taking two pieces of a pie that is cut into five equal slices, giving you one and one-fifth pieces. In real-world applications, knowing how to multiply fractions can be incredibly helpful! For example, if you're cooking and a recipe calls for \( \frac{3}{5} \) of a cup of sugar and you want to make double the recipe, you’d need \( 2 \times \frac{3}{5} \) cups of sugar, which equals \( \frac{6}{5} \) cups, or one and one-fifth cups. Happy cooking!
