Question

Adante begins to evaluate the expression 3 1/3 x 5 1/4 using the steps below

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{35}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to write the mixed fraction as a fractional number, as follows:

$3 1/3 = 3 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9+1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}$

$5 1/4 = 5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20+1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}$

Then, evaluating the expression:

$\frac{10}{3}$×$\frac{21}{4}$ = $\frac{210}{12}$ =  $\frac{35}{2}$
