Question

Fill in the blank with the correct sign.

$\small 4$ $\small \small 4\times\frac{1}{4}$

Answer

$\small 4$ $\small \small 4\times\frac{1}{4}$

When we multiply a fraction by a whole number, we first want to make the whole number into a fraction. We do that by putting the whole number over Then we multiply like normal.

$\small \frac{4}{1}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}$

$\small \frac{4}{4}=1$

$\small 4$ $\small 1$

$\small 4>1$

$\small 5\times \frac{1}{3}$ $\small 5$

Answer

$\small 5\times \frac{1}{3}$ $\small 5$

When we multiply a fraction by a whole number, we first want to make the whole number into a fraction. We do that by putting the whole number over $\small 1.$ Then we multiply like normal.

$\small \frac{5}{1}\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{3}$

$\small \frac{5}{3}=1\frac{2}{3}$ Because can go into $\small 5$ only time, and $\small \frac{2}{3}$ is left over.
