To rewrite a whole number as a fraction, simply place the whole number over 1. This will make an improper fraction. For example, if you have 5 x 8/10, put the 5 over 1. You should now have 5/1 x 8/10. Remember that the numerators are the numbers above the lines. Write the result and place a line below it. In the example, 5/1 x 8/10, multiply 5 by 8 to get 40. Now you can multiply the numbers below the lines to get your denominator. You should now have an answer to your equation that's in fraction form. For example, if you're multiplying 5/1 x 8/10, multiply 1 by 10 to get 10. Place this below the line to get an answer of 40/10. Because your answer will probably be an improper fraction, simplify the answer to its lowest terms. Divide the numerator by the denominator to get a simplified result.  To reduce 40/10, divide 40 by 10 to get 4 as your new answer. In many cases, you'll get a mixed number since the answer will have a remainder.
