Question

1. find the product and write it in simplest form: 1 1/3 x 3/8 =

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to number 1 is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer, I made 1 1/3 into one big fraction. I multiplied the denominator by the whole number (3x1) and then added that product to the numerator. (3+1). The new fraction is now 4/3 (you keep the denominator the same). The next step is to multiply 4/3 by 3/8. When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across (the numerator by the numerator, and the denominator by the denominator). Your answer is now 12/24. The final step is to simplify the answer. Since 12 is half of 24, the answer is 1/2.
