Multiply 3/5 times 4. Convert the answer to a mixed number.(1 point)

Answer 1

To multiply 3/5 by 4, we can set it up as a multiplication problem:

3/5 * 4

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(3 * 4) / (5)

Simplifying the numerator:

12 / 5

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

12 ÷ 5 = 2 remainder 2

The quotient becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part:

2 2/5

Therefore, the answer is 2 2/5.
