Question

Someone plz help! thx

Answer 1

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
