You probably know that the number above the fraction line is called the numerator and the number below it is called the denominator. To work out the fraction of any number, we first need to convert that whole number into a fraction as well.
Here's a little tip for you. Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator:
481

So now that we've converted 48 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 5/8 side by side with our new fraction, 48/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.
That's right, all you need to do is convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators. Let's take a look:
5 x 488 x 1 = 2408
