Is it proper arithmetic to list the multiples of a fraction instead of a whole number? For example, list the multiples of 2: 2,4,6, etc.
Is it correct to list the multiples of 1/2 or any other fraction?
List the multiples of 1/2: 1/2, 2/2 3/2, 4/2, etc.

To list or not to list? Is that the question?
Is it better to be whole or to be fractional?

I tend to agree with pka response. I do think that a student should know these tables. I would write, as I would verbally say, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2,....

KWF, what is your motivation for asking?

Did a teacher/professor give a question or assignment that involves multiples

of whole numbers and fractions?
