Multiplying a Mixed Number by a Whole Number

<p>Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:</p> <p>\( 4 \frac{1}{6} = \frac{4 \times 6}{1} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{24}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{25}{6} \)</p> <p>Multiply the improper fraction by the whole number:</p> <p>\( \frac{25}{6} \times 4 = \frac{25 \times 4}{6} \)</p> <p>Simplify the fraction:</p> <p>\( \frac{25 \times 4}{6} = \frac{100}{6} \)</p> <p>Reduce to the lowest terms if necessary. In this case, it cannot be simplified further, so the final answer is:</p> <p>\( \frac{100}{6} \)</p>
