Answer:
(9 1/2) * (19 1/4) = 1463/8 = 182 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number 9 1/2
to a improper fraction: 9 1/2 = 9 1/2
= 9 · 2 + 1/2
= 18 + 1/2
= 19/2
To find a new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 9 by the denominator 2. Whole number 9 equally 9 * 2/2
= 18/2
b) Add the answer from previous step 18 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 18 + 1 = 19
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 19) over the denominator 2.
Nine and one half is nineteen halves
Conversion a mixed number 19 1/4
to a improper fraction: 19 1/4 = 19 1/4
= 19 · 4 + 1/4
= 76 + 1/4
= 77/4
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 19 by the denominator 4. Whole number 19 equally 19 * 4/4
= 76/4
b) Add the answer from previous step 76 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 76 + 1 = 77
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 77) over the denominator 4.
Nineteen and one quarter is seventy-seven quarters
Multiple: 19/2
* 77/4
= 19 · 77/2.4
= 1463/8
