Question

What is 1 5/8 times 2 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

4 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 5/8 × 2 2/3

First we turn it into an improper fraction:

1 5/8 × 2 2/3 = 13/8 × 8/3

Now we multiply them across:

13/8 × 8/3 = 104/24

Now we simplify:

104/24 = 13/3

because 3 × 8 = 24 and 13 × 8 = 104

Now we simplify again because we can't leave it as an improper fraction. So we turn it into a mixed fraction:

13/3 = 4 1/3

4 1/3 is answer
