What is the product of 1 1/2 and −1 1/4 ? Enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

A: What is the product of 1 1/2 and −1 1/4?

$1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

$-1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-5}{4}$

Product will be : $\frac{3}{2} \times\frac{-5}{4}$

= $\frac{-15}{8}$ or $-1\frac{7}{8}$

B: What is the product of −2 1/4 and −4 1/2?

$-2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-9}{4}$

$-4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-9}{2}$

Product will be : $\frac{-9}{4} \times\frac{-9}{2}$

= $\frac{81}{8}$ or $10\frac{1}{8}$

Answer 2

11/2 * -11/4  = (11*-11) / 2*4  =   -121 / 8

= -15 1/8 answer

-2 1/4 * -4 1/2
= -9/4 *  -9/2
=  81/8
= 10 1/8  answer
