Question

What is five over six multiply by one and one over two?(please show your work)

Answer 1

(5/6)1(1/2)= 6/12=1/2

Answer 2

5/6 * 1 1/2 = 1 1/4, I know this because I made 1 1/4 3/2, so 5/6 * 3/2 now all i did was multiply regularly; 5 * 3 = 15 and 6 * 2 = 12 so 15/12, since that is improper i had to divide it 12 divided into 15 is 1 1/4 so that is the answer.
