13 and sixteen-thirty-fifths

Answer 1

To multiply and reduce to simplest form, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

3 and three-fifths = (3*5 + 3)/5 = 18/5
9 and six-sevenths = (9*7 + 6)/7 = 69/7

Step 2: Multiply the fractions:

(18/5) * (69/7) = (18*69)/(5*7) = 1242/35

Step 3: Reduce the fraction to its simplest form:

1242/35 = 35 and 17/35

Therefore, the answer is 35 and seventeen-thirty-fifths.
