Our “multiply fractions with whole numbers” worksheets provide your students or child practice with various scenarios. Students will multiply when no simplifying is possible. We’ve also included problems that require simplifying/reducing both before and after multiplying.

If your students have trouble understanding the basics of fractions, then multiplying can be difficult. Following this process:

1. Turn the whole number into a fraction.
2. Multiply straight across on top and bottom.
3. Reduce the fraction.

After enough practice, they’ll start to see how they can simplify things and skip steps but don’t force that too early.
