Multiply 4/7

times 5. Convert the answer to a mixed number

1 answer

To multiply \( \frac{4}{7} \) by \( 5 \), you can write \( 5 \) as a fraction:

\[ 5 = \frac{5}{1} \]

Now, multiply the two fractions:

\[ \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{4 \times 5}{7 \times 1} = \frac{20}{7} \]

Now, convert \( \frac{20}{7} \) to a mixed number. To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator:

\[ 20 \div 7 = 2 \quad \text{(with a remainder of \( 6 \))} \]

Thus, \( \frac{20}{7} \) can be expressed as:

\[ 2 \frac{6}{7} \]

So, the answer as a mixed number is:

\[ 2 \frac{6}{7} \]
