Question

How can I solve 1 4/5 x 1/2?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

first we write 1 4/5 as an improper fraction:

$1 \frac{4}{5}=\frac{5}{5}+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{5+4}{5}=\frac{9}{5}$

Now we multiply :

$\begin{aligned}1 \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} &=\frac{9}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} \\&=\frac{9 \times 1}{5 \times 2} \\&=\frac{9}{10}\end{aligned}$
