Multiply 4/5 by 7 1/3

Question

convert the product to the simplest form

Answer 1

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

To do this, we multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator of the fraction (3) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 7*3 + 1 = 22.

So 7 1/3 is equivalent to 22/3.

Now we can multiply 4/5 by 22/3:

(4/5) * (22/3) = (4 * 22) / (5 * 3) = 88/15.

Therefore, the product of 4/5 and 7 1/3 is 88/15.

In simplest form, 88/15 cannot be simplified further since there are no common factors between the numerator and denominator.
