Question

multiply 4/9x7 as a mixed number

Answer 1

To multiply \( \frac{4}{9} \times 7 \) and express the result as a mixed number, follow these steps:

1. Convert the whole number \( 7 \) into a fraction. You can express \( 7 \) as \( \frac{7}{1} \).

2. Multiply the two fractions:
\[
\frac{4}{9} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{4 \times 7}{9 \times 1} = \frac{28}{9}
\]

3. Now, convert \( \frac{28}{9} \) into a mixed number. To do this, divide \( 28 \) by \( 9 \):
- \( 28 \div 9 = 3 \) remainder \( 1 \).

4. The integer part of the division is \( 3 \) and the remainder is \( 1 \). So, you can write:
\[
\frac{28}{9} = 3 \frac{1}{9}
\]

Thus, \( \frac{4}{9} \times 7 \) as a mixed number is \( 3 \frac{1}{9} \).
