How is multiplying fractions the same as multiplying whole numbers and different
Well one similarity is that since you have to multiply, integer rules still apply and that you can also multiply variables. A difference is that with fractions, you have to make a number into an improper fraction rather than just the regular way which would most likely be the whole number with a decimal.
Answer:
Different: Because you need to make it a fraction not a whole number
Similar: Because you are both multiplying numbers
Reasoning:
The reason for this is because if you are multiplying 1/4 to 2 it equals 2/4.
But if you are multiplying 14 and 2 you don't get 2/4 you get 28.
