Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction before multiplying.

Here's an example: 4 2/3 times 6

You multiply the denominator and the outside number 4 times 3 equals 12

Then, you add the numerator to the product of your denominator and the outside number 12+2=14

Your improper fraction is now 14/3 (Your denominator will always stay the same)

Then, you just multiply 14 times 6 equals 84 3 times 1 equals 3

Then you simplify it and your answer is 28

You can turn 1 6/7 into 13/6 because 1 6/7 7x1=7+6=13/6 because you keep the denominators ALWAYS

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and keep the same denominator. For example, 2 4 3 ​ becomes 4 11 ​ . You can then multiply this improper fraction by another number as needed.
