Question

9/4 x (4/3+8/9) Can you help me with the steps on how to do this thank you.

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the numbers in parentheses and then multiply it with 9/4.

$\frac{9}{4} \times ( \frac{4}{3 } + \frac{8}{9} )$

$\frac{9}{4} \times ( \frac{4 \times 3}{3 \times 3} + \frac{8}{9} )$

The numerator and denominator of 4/3 were multiplied by 3 to have the same denominator as 8/9 in order to be able to add. 9 is the least common multiple between 3 and 9.

$\frac{9}{4} \times ( \frac{12}{9} + \frac{8}{9} )$

$\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{20}{9}$

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

$\frac{180}{36}$

$5$

Answer 2

Here's how to solve for the equation below:

9/4 x (4/3+8/9)

Add inside of the parenthesis then bring 9/4 back into the equation:

(4/3 + 8/9)

9/4 x 2.22222222

Multiply the values:

9/4 x 2.22222222

4.99999999

Round to the nearest whole number:

4.99999999 to 5
