5* 1 1/4* 4 1/2 simplify

Answer 1

To simplify this expression, we first need to convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions:

5 * 1 1/4 * 4 1/2 = 5 * 5/4 * 9/2

Next, we can simplify the fractions by finding a common denominator and multiplying across:

5 * 5/4 * 9/2 = 5 * 45/36 = 225/36

Finally, we can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 9:

225/36 = 25/4

Therefore, 5 * 1 1/4 * 4 1/2 = 25/4 when simplified.
