Question

Multiply. (give answer as a mixed number.) 6 1/4 x 3 3/5 =

Answer 1

Okay, I went through a lot of work to try solving this, so here goes! First, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 6 1/4 --> 25/4 3 3/5 --> 18/5 Next, we need to multiply the two improper fractions together. 25 x 18 450 --- --- = --- 4 x 5 20 Then, we need to turn 450/20 into a mixed number. To do this, we divide. 450/20=22 10/26 We're almost done. Last step is to simplify the mixed number, specifically 10/26. We need to find GCF of 10 and 26, which is 2. 10/2=5 26/2=13 = 5/13 FINAL ANSWER - 22 5/13 You're welcome.
