Answer 2

Hi!

Your answer is B.

Given:

$15*\dfrac{5}{12}$

Change $15$ into a fraction by putting it over $1$

$\dfrac{15}{1} * \dfrac{5}{12}$

Multiply the numerators and the denominators by each other:

$\dfrac{15*5}{12*1} =\dfrac{75}{12}$

Simplify:

$\dfrac{75/3}{12/3} = \dfrac{25}{4}$

Mixed number form = $6\dfrac{1}{4}$
