Multiply 4/9

times 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)

1 answer

To multiply \( \frac{4}{9} \) by 7, you can first write 7 as a fraction:

\[ 7 = \frac{7}{1} \]

Now, multiply the fractions:

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

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

  • 28 divided by 9 is 3 (since \( 9 \times 3 = 27 \)).
  • The remainder is \( 28 - 27 = 1 \).

Thus, \( \frac{28}{9} \) can be expressed as:

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

So, the answer is:

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