Multiply 6 × 2/9.

Question

After multiplying, the numerator is ?.
After multiplying, the denominator is ?.

Answer 1

To multiply \( 6 \times \frac{2}{9} \), you can write \( 6 \) as a fraction, which is \( \frac{6}{1} \).

Now, multiply the two fractions:

\[ \frac{6}{1} \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6 \times 2}{1 \times 9} = \frac{12}{9} \]

Now, we have:

• The numerator after multiplying is \( 12 \).
• The denominator after multiplying is \( 9 \).

So, the final answers are:

• Numerator: \( 12 \)
• Denominator: \( 9 \)

Answer 2

DJ has just started a collection of his favorite movies. DJ has 16 movies, and 3/8 of them are comedies. How many movies are comedies?(1 point) Responses 6 movies 6 movies 8 movies 8 movies 5 movies 5 movies 16 movies

Answer 3

To find out how many movies are comedies, we can calculate \( \frac{3}{8} \) of DJ's total movies, which is 16.

\[ \text{Number of comedies} = \frac{3}{8} \times 16 \]

Calculating that:

\[ \frac{3 \times 16}{8} = \frac{48}{8} = 6 \]

So, DJ has 6 comedies.

The answer is 6 movies.
