Question

What is 1 1/4 × 4 3/4 =

Answer 1

First, we need to turn this into an improper fraction. Therefore we have: 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 4 3/4 = 19/4
Now we multiply across and eliminate as needed.
5/4 * 19/4 = 95/16
Finally, we reduce and convert to a mixed fraction.
16 goes into 95, 5 times with a remainder of 15. Therefore, we can conclude that our answer is: 5 15/16.
