Can someone please help

Answer 1

Answer:

The product is $12\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with:

$(3)(4\frac{1}{5} )$

$4\frac{1}{5}$ is the same as $4+\frac{1}{5}$ .

Let's rewrite:

$(3)(4+\frac{1}{5})$

Distribute $3$ in to $4$:

$(3)(4)=12$

And $3$ distributed in to $\frac{1}{5}$ is the same as $\frac{3}{1}$ × $\frac{1}{5}$

Multiply.

$\frac{3}{1}$ × $\frac{1}{5} =\frac{3}{5}$

Now let's add our new whole number and fraction.

$12+\frac{3}{5}$

And we've already established that the expression above is how we can rewrite a mixed number, so let's make it a mixed number by adding.

$12\frac{3}{5}$
