When a fraction is multiplied by an integer, only the numerator has to be multiplied by it. Then:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}\times6=\frac{3\times6}{8}=\frac{18}{8}[/tex]
Write 18/8 in simplest form. To do so, divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 8 and 18 is 2. Then, divide the numerator and the denominator by 2:
[tex]\frac{18}{8}=\frac{18\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]\frac{3}{8}\times6=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
