Here is a great video explaining multiplying a fraction by a whole number. Sal shows students how to put a whole number over 1 to multiply it by a fraction. He simplifies his answer and writes it as a mixed number.

Before Sal can divide a mixed number, he has to rewrite it as an improper fraction. He explains that dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying it by its reciprocal and that you can "cancel out" numbers to make multiplying easier.

A step-by-step explanation about improper fractions being changed into mixed numbers. The instructor uses diagrams in several examples which gives a visual explanation of the equation.

The first step in subtracting mixed numbers is to change them into improper fractions. Second, make sure the denominators are the same. If they are not the same, then find a common denominator. Make the proper conversions to the...
