Answer: 7 1/2
To multiply a fraction, just multiply them.
In this problem, we'll multiplying a fraction by a whole number.
First off, convert 9 into a fraction by adding an one for the denominator.
Now 9 will be 9/1.
Second, apply the fraction rule.
[tex]\frac{5*9}{6*1}[/tex]
Now, factor the number 9 and number 6.
9 = 3 × 3
6 = 2 × 3
[tex]\frac{5*3*3}{3*2}[/tex]
Third, cancel the common factor 3.
[tex]\frac{5*3}{2}[/tex]
Finally, you can solve.
5 × 3 = 15
2 will stay the same since there is nothing to multiply.
But your not done, your answer will be 15/2, but its improper. Now, you'll convert 15/2 to a mixed number.
You'll divide 15 by 2 using long division.
When done, your answer will be: 7 R 1.
7 is your whole number, and 1 will be represented as 1/2.
Hence, your answer is 7 1/2
