Question

Multiply. Simplify your answer and write it as a mixed number.
5 3/4* 1 3/4

10 1/16
5 9/16
16 1/16
161/16

Answer 1

To multiply the fractions, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

5 3/4 can be converted to (5 * 4 + 3)/4 = 23/4.

1 3/4 can be converted to (1 * 4 + 3)/4 = 7/4.

Now we can multiply the fractions: (23/4) * (7/4) = (23 * 7)/(4 * 4) = 161/16.

So the answer is 161/16, which can be written as a mixed number as 10 1/16.
