First, both denominators must be the same to easily understand this. So, the common denominator for 4 and 12 are 12. Whatever you do for the bottom you must do for the top as well. So, 3(3)=9/4(3)=12. 8(1)=8/12(1)=12. Therefore your new fractions are: 9/12 (AKA 3/4), and 8/12. 9/12 less than 8/12 (visually)

5 and 1/3 × 3 and 3/4

tresset_1 [31]

We'll first off convert the mixed fractions to "improper", and then multiply.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{16}{3}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{4}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{16}{3}\times \cfrac{15}{4}\implies \cfrac{15}{3}\times \cfrac{16}{4}\implies 5\times 4\implies 20$

How is the way the decimals point moves when you divide a decimal number by a power of ten the same as when you multiply? how is

Svetach [21]

Multiplying decimals is the same as multiplying whole numbers except for the placement of the decimal point in the answer. When you multiply decimals, the decimal point is placed in the product so that the number of decimal places in the product is the sum of the decimal places in the factors.
