multiply 7/10 times 5. write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply 7/10 by 5, we multiply the numerators (7 x 5 = 35) and the denominators (10 x 1 = 10) separately.

Therefore, the result is 35/10.
To simplify this fraction, we can reduce it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.

35 ÷ 5 = 7
10 ÷ 5 = 2

So, the simplest form of 35/10 is 7/2.
