Question

Work out 1 3/4 x 4 1/6

Answer 1

Convert mixed number to improper fraction:

$1\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{1\cdot4+3}{4}=\dfrac{4+3}{4}=\dfrac{7}{4}\\\\4\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{4\cdot6+1}{6}=\dfrac{24+1}{6}=\dfrac{25}{6}\\\\1\dfrac{3}{4}\times4\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{7}{4}\times\dfrac{25}{6}=\dfrac{7\times25}{4\times6}=\dfrac{175}{24}=\dfrac{168+7}{24}=7\dfrac{7}{24}$
