Question

What is 3 2/5 x 2 1/3 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The product of $3_{5}^{2}$ and $2_{3}^{1}$ is $6_{19}^{1}$

Solution:

Here we have to multiply two numbers that is $3_{5}^{2}$ and $2_{3}^{1}$  which are in mixed form. We first convert them in fraction form to get the final product.

The number $3_{5}^{2}$ can be written in fraction form as $\frac{[(5 \times 3)+2]}{5}=\frac{17}{5}$

The number $2_{3}^{1}$ can be written in fraction form as $\frac{[3 \times 2)+1]}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$

Therefore multiplying $\frac{17}{5} \times \frac{7}{3}$  we get ,

$\frac{17}{5} \times \frac{7}{3}=\frac{119}{15}$

When we divide 119 by 15 we get 6 as quotient and 1 as remainder.

Therefore $\frac{119}{15}$ can be written in mixed form as $6_{19}^{1}$

Answer 2

3 2/5 x 2 1/3 rewrite

12/5 x 7/3 convert into fractions instead of mixed fraction then multiply straight across

84/15 would be your final answer you might need to reduce it though :) hope i helped
