any whole number has a denominator of 1.
So if you have 3/5 x 2
you can write it as 3/5x 2/1
so the answer is 6/5

Here's and example:
2 x 1/2
This is the same as 2 over 1 times 1/2, which equals 2 over 2 or 1.

Think of it this way you are multiplying 5 and 1/2 ok write it like this always pt whole #'s over one _5_ * _1_
1 2
and multiply straight across.... 5*1=5 and 1*2=2 so its 5/2
