Question

Write the answer in simplest form- 15/24 multiples by 4 2/3

Answer 1

ANSWER:

The simplest form after the multiplication of fraction 15/24 and 4 2/3 is $-2 \frac{11}{12}$

SOLUTION:

Given fraction are $\frac{-15}{24}$ and $4 \frac{2}{3}$

The second fraction is given in the mixed form which can be simplified into an improper fraction for the purpose of calculation.

The improper form of the mixed fraction is $\frac{4 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

Now, we can multiply both the fraction to get a simpler form

$-\frac{15}{24} \times \frac{14}{3}$

On multiplying and reducing, we get, $\frac{-35}{12}$

Since the obtained answer is an improper fraction, this is not its simplest form.

To convert it to the simplest form we need to make it a mixed fraction.

This is done by dividing -35 by 12 till it cannot be further divided. Then the quotient is written as a whole number and the remainder forms the numerator of the mixed fraction and the divisor becomes the denominator.  

Therefore the simplest form of the improper fraction is $-2 \frac{11}{12}$
