To multiply a whole number, and a fraction, we can proceed as follows:
1. In general, we only need to multiply the whole number times the numerator of the fraction as follows:
[tex]a\cdot\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\cdot b}{c}[/tex]2. And then, we can simplify the fraction.
If we have that:
[tex]7\cdot\frac{9}{12}[/tex]In this case, we can first
