Question

Multiply the two mixed numbers 4 1/2 x 3 2/3 simplify your answer and write it as a mixed number

Answer 1

Answer: 16 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easiest to multiply improper fractions and then to convert them back into mixed numbers, so 4 1/2 would become 9/2 and 3 2/3 would become 11/3. $\frac{9}{2} *\frac{11}{3}$= 99/6. Now just simplify to 33/2 and then convert back into a mixed number.  16 1/2
