Answer 1

hello!

=================================================

Here, we have to multiply fractions.

How to Multiply Fractions?

Here are the steps:-

<u />

• Turn any whole numbers into fractions (example:- 3 = 3/1)
• Multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the numerator of the 2nd fraction; same with the denominator.

• Simplify if necessary.

So let's do it.

Step 1:-

$\longmapsto\sf{3=\displaystyle\frac{3}{1}$

Step 2:-

$\longmapsto\sf{\displaystyle\frac{3}{1} *\frac{7}{10}}$

$\longmapsto\sf{\displaystyle\frac{21}{10} }$

We can't simplify this fraction, but there's something else we can do:-

• Convert this improper fraction into a mixed number

Here's the answer:-

$\boxed{\sf{2\displaystyle\frac{1}{10} }}$
