The usual recommendation for doing much of anything with mixed numbers is to change them to improper fractions.

However, that isn't always necessary. If you're doing the arithmetic with a calculator, it can be helpful to convert them to decimal numbers.* Sometimes, you can work with mixed numbers by working with the integer and fractional parts separately.

Sometimes a simple rewrite makes working with mixed numbers easier. (That is, converting part of the integer portion to a fraction may be useful in some cases.

Example:

  (29 1/3) × (1/2) = (28 4/3) × (1/2) = 14 2/3

* Some calculators will do arithmetic directly with mixed numbers and/or fractions. If yours doesn't, it can be helpful to memorize the decimal equivalents of a few common fractions: 1/3, 2/3, 1/6, 1/7, 1/9, 1/11 for example. This will help you convert the decimal result back to a mixed number.
