Answer 1

To multiply 4/5 times 13/8, you multiply the numerators (4 * 13) to get 52, and multiply the denominators (5 * 8) to get 40. The answer is 52/40.

To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.

Dividing 52 by 4 equals 13, and dividing 40 by 4 equals 10.

So, the simplified fraction is 13/10.

To convert this to a mixed number, you divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (10). The result is 1 with a remainder of 3.

So, the answer as a mixed number is 1 3/10.
