Answer:
36 9/10
How to Solve:
First you must convert 10 1/4 into an improper fraction. To do that you must multiply ten by four and add one. The total of that will become the new numerator and the denominator will stay the same.
10 1/4 → 41/4
Next you should also convert 3 3/5 into an improper fraction. To do that you must multiply three by five and add three. The total of the will become the new numerator and the denominator will stay the same.
3 3/5 → 18/5
Now multiply the numerators.
41 × 18= 738
Now multiply the denominators.
4 × 5 = 20
Apply the new numerator and denominator into a fraction.
738/20
Now you simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by two.
738/20 ÷ 2/2 = 369/10
Finally, the improper fraction must be converted into a mixed fraction.
369/10 → 36 9/10
Therefore, 10 1/4 times 3 3/5 equals 36 9/10
