What is the math term for a whole number combined with a fraction?

When multiplying a fraction by a whole number you would rewrite it as a mixed number or convert the whole number to that number over one!

Any fraction can be multiplied by a whole number so that the product is a whole number. Simply multiply the fraction (in rational form) by its denominator.

Remember that division is a fancy name for multiplying by an inverse. Basically (n/p)/s is equivalent to (n/p)(1/s) or n/(ps).

Divide it by 1. Thus 3 = 3/1, which is a fraction in its lowest form.
