What the answer is to this question as a fraction in lowest terms

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

9 3/8

Discussion:

2 1/7 = 15/7

4 3/8 = 35/8  

so the product  

(2 1/7) * ( 4 3/8) =  

15/7  * 35/8 =

15/7 * (7 * 5)/8 =            

         since 35 = 7*5. Cancel "7" in numerator\denominator  to get

(15 * 5) / 8 =

75/8 =

9 3/8

Thank you,

MrB
