Question

What is 28 1/2 of 120

Answer 1

Answer:

3,420

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Convert\:mixed\:numbers\:to\:improper\:fractions}:\quad 28\frac{1}{2}\\\\\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:120=\frac{120}{1}\\=\frac{57}{2}\cdot \frac{120}{1}$

$\mathrm{Cross-cancel\:common\:factor:}\:2\\=\frac{57}{1}\cdot \frac{60}{1}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\cdot \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:c}{b\:\cdot \:d}\\=\frac{57\cdot \:60}{1\cdot \:1}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:57\cdot \:60=3420\\=\frac{3420}{1\cdot \:1}\\ \\\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{1}=a\\3420$

Hope this helps you!

Have a good night!
