Multiply 4/7

times 5. Convert the answer to a mixed number.(1 point)

1 answer

To multiply \( \frac{4}{7} \) by \( 5 \), you can write \( 5 \) as a fraction: \( \frac{5}{1} \).

So, the multiplication becomes:

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

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

  • \( 20 \div 7 = 2 \) (the whole number part)
  • The remainder is \( 20 - (2 \times 7) = 20 - 14 = 6 \).

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

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

Thus, the answer is:

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