Answer 1

To multiply 7/8 by 3 1/2, we can first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

3 1/2 = (3 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 7/2

Next, we multiply 7/8 by 7/2:

(7/8) * (7/2) = (7 * 7) / (8 * 2) = 49/16

To convert the product to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (49) by the denominator (16):

49 ÷ 16 = 3 remainder 1

Therefore, the product: 49/16 can be written as the mixed number 3 1/16.

So, the answer is 3 1/16.
