Work out 4 1/2 x 3/4
(whole fractions and stuff)

First convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator and then add the numerator. Then place it over the denominator.

4 1/2 => 9/2

Now we can multiply.

9/2 * 3/4 = 27/8

Now convert it into a mixed number.
To do this, first find how many times 8 can go into 27. Which is 3 times.
That will be our whole number. 3 * 8 = 24
Then subtract 24 from 27. 27 - 24 = 3. That will be our numerator.
And the 8 will in 27/8 will be our denominator.

And the result is 3 3/8
