Multiply 4/5 by 7 1/3 . Convert the product to be a mixed number.(1 p

Answer 1

To multiply 4/5 by 7 1/3, we first have to convert the mixed number 7 1/3 into an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator (3), and add the numerator (1) to get the new numerator.

7 * 3 = 21

21 + 1 = 22

Now, the improper fraction is 22/3.

To multiply 4/5 by 22/3, we multiply the numerators (4 * 22) and the denominators (5 * 3) separately:

4 * 22 = 88
5 * 3 = 15

So the product is 88/15.

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (88) by the denominator (15):

88 ÷ 15 = 5 remainder 13

This means the whole number is 5 and the fraction is 13/15.

Therefore, the product of 4/5 and 7 1/3 is 5 13/15.
