multiply 4/9 by 1 3/4 write the answer in the simplest from

Answer 1

To multiply these fractions, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 3/4 into an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (4) and add the numerator (3) to get the new numerator. So, 1 3/4 becomes (1 * 4 + 3)/4 = 7/4.

Now, we can multiply 4/9 by 7/4:

(4/9) * (7/4)

To simplify the multiplication, we cancel common factors. In this case, the number 4 can cancel with the denominator 4:

(1/9) * (7/1)

Now, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

1 * 7 = 7
9 * 1 = 9

Therefore, the answer is 7/9 in simplest form.
