Question

What is 3 1/2 multiplied by 2 1/4 as a mixed number or fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

7 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn 3 1/2 and 2 1/4 into improper fractions.

3 1/2= 7/2

and

2 1/4=9/4

Then, set the multiplication equation like this: 7/2 * 9/4. (Srry I can't explain it well on a computer)

After that, multiply out and you will get, 63/8. Then, turn it into a mixed number: 7 7/8. Then, try to reduce it and see that it can't be reduced. Therefore, 7 7/8 is your answer.

Answer 2

Hey there!

$3\frac{1}{2}$ × $2\frac{1}{4}$

$3\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{7}{2}$

$2\frac{1}{4}$  = $\frac{9}{4}$

$\frac{7}{2}$×$\frac{9}{4}$

$7\times9 = 63$

$2\times4 = 8$

$\boxed{Answer: \frac{63}{8} ; 7\frac{7}{8} }$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
