Question

Pls Someone help me I don't understand math very well can someone help me on how to get the answer for 1/4 x 8 4/9?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying fractions: Numerator times numerator over denominator times denominator. IF you have a mixed number, convert it into improper fraction, then do numerator times numerator over denominator times denominator.

1/4 x 76/9 (I got 76/9 because the 8 means 8 9/9s, so (8 x 9)=72 plus 4 because 4/9s=76/9)

1/4 x 76/9= 76/36

=38/18

=19/9

=2 1/9

Answer 2

Answer:

2 4/36

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add it to the numerator.

8 x 9 = 72

72 + 4 = 76

76/9

Then multiply across (multiply numerators with numerators; denominators with denominators)

76 x 1 = 76

9 x 4 = 36

76/36 = 2  4/36

____________________________

A faster way to do this is to multiply the whole number by the fraction and then the fraction by the fraction.

1/4 x 8/1 = 8/4 = 2

1/4 x 4/9 = 4/36

 = 2  4/36
