To multiply the whole number \(4\) by the fraction \(\frac{3}{5}\), follow these steps:

1. **Multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number:**

   \[
   4 \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5} = \frac{12}{5}
   \]

2. **Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:**

   \[
   \frac{12}{5} = 2 \frac{2}{5}
   \]

So, \( 4 \times \frac{3}{5} = \boxed{2 \frac{2}{5}} \).
