times 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.

1 answer

To multiply \( \frac{4}{9} \) by 7, you can express 7 as a fraction, \( \frac{7}{1} \).

Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[ \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{4 \times 7}{9 \times 1} = \frac{28}{9} \]

Next, to convert \( \frac{28}{9} \) into a mixed number, divide 28 by 9:

28 divided by 9 is 3 with a remainder of 1, so:

\[ \frac{28}{9} = 3 \frac{1}{9} \]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[ 3 \frac{1}{9} \]
