1. Textbook Instructions 10 Multiply Mixed Numbers

In this unit, students will learn how to multiply If the area of chocolate A is 1, what is
different combinations of mixed numbers, the area of chocolate B?
fractions, and whole numbers. Solve the first
problem with students.

Example: Find the area of chocolate B.

Step 1: Find the area of one segment, the top AB

third, of chocolate B. 1 2( 1 ) 2( 1 ) Find the area of each chocolate piece. Write the correct numbers in the blanks.

numbers and whole numbers. Discuss how you can multiply mixed numbers and whole numbers.

Refer to . Mixed numbers can be multiplied by multiplying the whole numbers and fractions
separately and then adding those values.

2. Build Understanding

The simplest method for multiplying a mixed number by a whole number is to break the mixed number into

parts, multiply each part by the whole number, and then add the result. Use the example above as a

demonstration of this. 1

1. Determine the two multipliers. 3 2 ( )

2. Split the mixed number into a whole number and a fraction. 2 and 1

3. Multiply both parts by the whole number. (3 2) (3 3 )

4. Add the products to find a single solution. 6 1 7
