To multiply a whole number by a fraction less than one, you have to rewrite the whole number in the expression as a fraction by putting a one under it.
For example, in 10 x 2/5, you would rewrite the 10 to 10/1 x 2/5.
Then, you would multiply the top and bottom of the two fractions. In this case, it would be 10 x 2 and 1x5. This would result in 20/5.
Finally, you would simplify this fraction by dividing. The final answer is 4.

Answer:

10 × 2/5 = 20/5 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are multiplying a whole (big) number times a fraction, you multiply the whole (big) number times the TOP number (numerator) and put that on top. Keep the bottom number (denominator) the same.

10 × (2/5)

= (10×2) / 5

= 20/5

= 4

Answer: 67.27

Step-by-step explanation:

7.1 x 7.1 for the square = 50.41

7.1 divided by 2 = 3.55

3.55 x 4.75= 16.86

Normally here you would divide by 2, but you don’t need two because there is 2 triangles that are the same

Add the 50.41 and the 16.86 and you have your answer!

A bag contains white matarles and red marables,126 in total.The number of whit marables is 6 more than 5 than 5 times the number
denis-greek [22]

Answer:106

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of white marbles be w

Let number of red marbles be r

w+r = 126---------1

w = 6 +5r-----------2

Put eqn 2 in eqn 1

6+ 5r + r = 126

6 + 6r = 126

6r = 120

r = 20

w = 6 +5r =6+100

= 106
