Question

What is .75 times 1 7/9

Answer 1

.75*1 7/9= 1.333335 this is your answer

Answer 2

1. Simplify fractions before the multiplying:

75/100 = 3·25/$\frac{75}{100}= \frac{3·25}{4·25} = \frac{3}{4}$ = 3/4

2. Transform the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
$1\frac{7}{9} = \frac{7 + 1·9}{9} = \frac{16}{9}$

3. Multiplying two fractions:
$\frac{3}{4} × \frac{16}{9} = \frac{3·16}{4·9} = \frac{48}{36}$

4. Simplify the fraction:
$\frac{48}{36}= \frac{4·12}{3·12}= \frac{4}{3}$

5. Since the numerator greater then the denominator, convert the improper             fraction to mixed number:
4/3 = 1 + 1·3/$\frac{4}{3}= \frac{1 + 1·3}{3} =1 \frac{1}{3}$ = 1 1/3
