Answer 1

Answer:

25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this kind of question we will have to convert them to an improper fraction

3 3/4×2 2/9

So the improper fraction will be

15/4×20/9

We discovered that 3 divide both 15 and 9 to give

5/4×20/3

4 also divide both 4 and 20 to give

5/1×5/3

Which will also give

25/3

Therefore the final answer is 25/3

Answer 2

Answer:

25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the fractions first

$3\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 +(3*4)}{4} =\frac{15}{4}$

$2\frac{2}{9} =\frac{2+(2*9)}{9} =\frac{20}{9}$

Now we solve

$\frac{15}{4} * \frac{20}{9}$ = $\frac{15 * 20}{4 * 9}$

End result

$\frac{300}{36}$

Simplifying this

Common factor of 300 and 36 is 12

Therefore

300 / 12 = 25

36 / 12 = 3

The fraction simplfied is $\frac{25}{3}$
