Multiply 4/9 by −3. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)

25 answers

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, you multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number. In this case, the numerator of the fraction is 4 and the whole number is -3.

4 * -3 = -12.

Next, you multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number. In this case, the denominator is 9.

9 * -3 = -27.

Finally, you write the result as a fraction with the numerator and denominator obtained earlier.

The answer is -12/27.

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

(-12/3) / (27/3) = -4/9.

Therefore, the mixed number in simplest form is -4/9.

The answer is -12/9.

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

(-12/3) / (9/3) = -4/3.

Therefore, the mixed number in simplest form is -4/3.
its not 4 its 4/9
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the problem correctly this time.

To multiply a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number. In this case, the numerator of the fraction is 4/9 and the whole number is -3.

(4/9) * -3 = (4 * -3) / 9 = -12/9.

Now, let's simplify the fraction. Both the numerator (-12) and the denominator (9) are divisible by 3.

(-12/3)/(9/3) = -4/3.

Therefore, the product of 4/9 and -3, in simplest form, is -4/3, which is equivalent to -1 1/3 as a mixed number.
Multiply 2/3 by 1 1/4. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)
To multiply mixed numbers, we first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

To convert 1 1/4 into an improper fraction:
1 × 4 + 1 = 5/4.

The problem now becomes:
(2/3) * (5/4).

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(2/3) * (5/4) = (2 * 5) / (3 * 4) = 10/12.

Now, we simplify the fraction. Both the numerator (10) and the denominator (12) are divisible by 2.
(10/2) / (12/2) = 5/6.

Therefore, the product of 2/3 and 1 1/4, in simplest form, is 5/6.
Multiply 9.6 by 0.2. Write the answer as a decimal
To multiply decimals, we simply multiply the numbers as we would with whole numbers and then count the total number of decimal places.

9.6 * 0.2 = 1.92.

Therefore, the product of 9.6 and 0.2 is 1.92.
Multiply 2.6 by −1.3.
To multiply decimals, we multiply the numbers as we would with whole numbers and then take into account the decimal places.

2.6 * -1.3 = -3.38.

Therefore, the product of 2.6 and -1.3 is -3.38.

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

(-2/5) * (3/10) = (-2 * 3) / (5 * 10) = (-6/50).

Now, we simplify the fraction. Both the numerator (-6) and the denominator (50) have a common factor of 2.

(-6/2) / (50/2) = -3/25.

Therefore, the product of -2/5 and 3/10, in simplest form, is -3/25.

Multiply 4/9 by −3. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
To multiply 4/9 by -3, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

(4/9) * (-3) = (4 * -3) / 9 = -12/9.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

(-12/3) / (9/3) = -4/3.

Now, we can write the resulting fraction as a mixed number:

-4/3 is equivalent to -1 1/3.

Therefore, the answer, when written as a mixed number in simplest form, is -1 1/3.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.

To multiply 4/9 by -3, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

(4/9) * (-3) = (-12/9).

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

(-12/3) / (9/3) = -4/3.

The resulting fraction, -4/3, cannot be expressed as a mixed number in simplest form since the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

Therefore, the answer is -4/3.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.

To multiply 4/9 by -3, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

(4/9) * (-3) = (4 * -3) / (9 * 1) = -12/9.

Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

(-12/3) / (9/3) = -4/3.

Therefore, the product of 4/9 and -3, in simplest form, is -4/3.
