Question

like 1 1/3 x 2 2/5

i spelled multiply and number wrong ooppoppoppss

Answer 1

First convert them into traditional form......

4/3 X 12/5

four times 12 is your numerator

3 times 5 ends up as the new denominator.

REDUCE or simplify your fraction if possible.

Answer 2

step1 first convert in improper fractions ..

1 1/3 = (3 * 1 + 1 ) / 3 = 4/3
2 2/5 = ( 5 * 2 + 2)/5 = 12/5

so given question reduced to
4/3 x 12/5

step2. multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator ....
we get (4x12) /( 3 x 5)
so we get 48 / 15 ...

step3 cancel out the common factors from numerator and denominator ( 3 is common in numerator and denominator ..)
(16 x 3) / ( 3 x 5 )
so final answer is 16/5
hope this willl you

Answer 3

you have to turn them into improper fractions

4/3 * 12/5
reduce if you can 4/1 * 4/5 so you end up with 16/5
