Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction
--------------------------------------------
Convert 6&1/2 to an improper fraction
6&1/2 = (6*2+1)/2
6&1/2 = (12+1)/2
6&1/2 = 13/2
--------------------------------------------
Do the same for 9&1/4
9&1/4 = (9*4+1)/4
9&1/4 = (36+1)/4
9&1/4 = 37/4
--------------------------------------------
Now multiply the improper fractions 13/2 and 37/4. Multiply straight across
(13/2)*(37/4) = (13*37)/(2*4)
(13/2)*(37/4) = 481/8
--------------------------------------------
The last step is to use long division to find the mixed number equivalent of 481/8
Or we an say
60*8 = 480
So 60*8+1 = 480+1
which means
481/8 = (480+1)/8 = 480/8+1/8 = 60&1/8
Making the final answer to be choice C
Another way to get the answer is to convert 481/8 into a decimal to get 60.125 and then convert that back to a mixed number. You should get 60&1/8
Y = yearbook club
d = drama club
y + d = 84
d = y + 16
now we sub y + 16 in for d in the first equation
y + d = 84
y + (y + 16) = 84
2y + 16 = 84
2y = 84 - 16
2y = 68
y = 68/2
y = 34 <=== yearbook club students
d = y + 16
d = 34 + 16
d = 50 <=== drama club students
1,2,7,14 would be your answer :)
