Multiply 4/5 times 13/8 . Write the answer in simplest form and convert it to a mixed number.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
So, we have:
(4/5) * (13/8) = (4 * 13) / (5 * 8) = 52/40.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
52/40 = (52/4) / (40/4) = 13/10.

To convert the fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (10):
13 ÷ 10 = 1 remainder 3.

Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 13/10, and when converted to a mixed number, it is 1 3/10.
