Question

Multiply 5/3 times 5/7 . Convert the answer to a mixed number.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator.

So, multiplying 5/3 times 5/7, we get:

(5/3) * (5/7) = (5 * 5) / (3 * 7) = 25/21

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (25) by the denominator (21).

25 ÷ 21 = 1 remainder 4

Therefore, the mixed number form of 25/21 is 1 4/21.
