To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
(4/5) * (13/8) = (4*13) / (5*8) = 52/40
To simplify, we can reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4 in this case.
52/40 ÷ 4/4 = 13/10
The simplified fraction is 13/10.
To convert it to a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator:
13 ÷ 10 = 1 remainder 3
The whole number is 1, and the remaining 3 is the numerator of the fraction. The denominator remains the same.
Thus, the mixed number form is 1 3/10.
Multiply 4/5 times 13/8. Write the answer in the simplest form and convert it to a mixed number.
