Multiply ⅘ by 7 ⅓. Convert the product to be a mixed number

Answer 1

To multiply ⅘ by 7 ⅓, we first convert both fractions to improper fractions.

⅘ as an improper fraction is (4*1 + 1)/5 = 5/5 + 1/5 = 5/5 + 1/5 = 6/5.

7 ⅓ as an improper fraction is (3*7 + 1)/3 = 21/3 + 1/3 = 22/3.

Now, we can multiply the improper fractions:

(6/5)*(22/3) = (6*22)/(5*3) = 132/15.

To convert this product to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (132) by the denominator (15) and express the remainder as a fraction:

132 ÷ 15 = 8 remainder 12.

Thus, the mixed number equivalent is 8 12/15.
