Chapter 6 Review Multiply the whole numbers by the fractions. Simplify the answers if needed. (DO \( \begin{array}{llll}\text { 1. } 6 \times \frac{2}{3} & \text { 2. } \frac{7}{8} \times 2 & \text { 3. } 13 \times \frac{2}{5} & \text { 4. } \frac{3}{8} \times 5\end{array} \)

To multiply whole numbers by fractions, you simply multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and then divide by the denominator. Let’s take a look at your problems: 1. \( 6 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6 \times 2}{3} = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \) 2. \( \frac{7}{8} \times 2 = \frac{7 \times 2}{8} = \frac{14}{8} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \) (or \( 1 \frac{3}{4} \) in mixed number form) 3. \( 13 \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{13 \times 2}{5} = \frac{26}{5} = 5.2 \) (or \( 5 \frac{1}{5} \) in mixed number form) 4. \( \frac{3}{8} \times 5 = \frac{3 \times 5}{8} = \frac{15}{8} = 1.875 \) (or \( 1 \frac{7}{8} \) in mixed number form) And there you go! Those multiplications yield some fun fractional results.
