Dan collected of a bag of leaves. Sean collected
times as many bags as Dan. How many bags did Sean collect?
When we multiply a fraction by a whole number, we first want to make the whole number into a fraction. We do that by putting the whole number over Then we multiply like normal.
Because
can go into
only
time and
is left over.
