basic fraction multiplication?

Question

2 3/4 * 1/2 = ?

i get 3/4

Answer 1

If I'm reading that right, you are saying 2 and 3/4 x 1/2. If that is the case you should get:

11/4 (also 2 and 3/4) x 1/2 = 11/8 = 1 and 3/8ths.

Answer 2

You shouldn't. Next time, show what you DID do so we can tell you what you SHOULDN'T do.

Convert 2-3/4 to an improper fraction
2*4 / 4 + 3/4 = 11/4
Multiply
11/4 * 1/2 = 11/8
Convert back to a regular fraction
(8 + 3)/8 = 1 - 3/8

Answer 3

11/4 * 1/2 = 11/8
(2*4+3/4) * 1/2 = 11/8

Answer 4

2 3/4 gives an improper fraction of 11/4

11/4 * 1/2 = 11/8

Answer 5

2 3/4 = 11/4
(11/4) * (1/2) = (11 * 1) / (4 * 2) = 11/8.

Answer 6

2 3/4 is equal to 11/4 so then it's 11/4 x 1/2 which equals 11/8

Answer 7

first convert 2 3/4 to an improper fraction so you get 11/4

11/4 * 1/2 = 11/8 (multiply the tops then multiply the bottoms)

now simplify your fraction to get 1 3/8

Answer 8

Hi,

For this question, 2 and 3/4 becomes 11/4. (Remember, you take 4(2) and then add 3 which is 11 ; the numerator of the fraction)

Therefore your problem becomes. . .

11 / 4 ( 1 / 2 )

Now just multiply the numerator and denominator separately to get:

11 / 8 <==== FINAL ANSWER

* Which can not be simplified further.

I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,

Andrew
