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

Answer 1

To multiply 7/10 by 5, you can set it up as a fraction multiplication problem:

7/10 * 5/1

Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together: 7 * 5 = 35
Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together: 10 * 1 = 10

The result is 35/10.

To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5.

35 ÷ 5 / 10 ÷ 5 = 7/2

Therefore, the answer as a mixed number in simplest form is 7/2.
