39/10

3 9/10

Answer 8

I first multiplied 1 x 1/2=3/2
Second I multiplied 2 x 3/5=13/5

My third step I believe is to find the common denominator which is 10 and from there I messed up.

Answer 9

How do you get 39/10?
2 x 15=30 so I am getting 39/30 not 39/10

Answer 10

3/2 * 13/5

3 * 13 = 39
2 * 5 = 10
