Question

Show your mastery of multiplying fractions by using the sketchpad to find the product of 3-4 x 37

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{111}{4}$

or

27 $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Any regular whole number (37 for example) is over one so it would look like $\frac{37}{1}$. Multiplying fractions involve just multiplying the numerators and denominators together, therefore it would look like $\frac{3}{4}$×$\frac{37}{1}$. Now just multiply the top and bottom numbers together and this will leave you with $\frac{111}{4}$ . But if you'd like to make it into a mixed number (more simplified version of $\frac{111}{4}$ ) then you would get 27 $\frac{3}{4}$.
