11 1/3 times 5

Answer 1

To multiply a whole number by a mixed number, we can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and then perform the multiplication.

11 1/3 can be written as 11 + 1/3.

To convert this to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (11) by the denominator of the fraction (3) and then add the numerator (1) to it.

11 * 3 = 33
33 + 1 = 34

So, 11 1/3 can be written as the improper fraction 34/3.

Now, we can multiply this fraction by 5:

34/3 * 5 = (34 * 5) / 3
= 170/3

Therefore, 11 1/3 times 5 is equal to 170/3.
