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

Answer 1

To multiply 4/9 by -3, we can first convert -3 to an improper fraction. -3 is the same as -3/1.

Next, we multiply the numerators and denominators:

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

Simplifying, we get:

-12 / 9

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

(-12 / 9) ÷ 3/3 = -4/3

Since the numerator (-4) is greater than the denominator (3), this is an improper fraction. To convert it to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (-4) by the denominator (3):

-4 ÷ 3 = -1 remainder 1

The mixed number in simplest form is thus:

-1 and 1/3

Answer 2

Multiply 2/3 by 1 1/4. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 3

To multiply 2/3 by 1 1/4, we first need to convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction.

To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (4) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 5.

So, 1 1/4 is equivalent to 5/4.

Next, we multiply the fractions:

(2/3) * (5/4) = (2 * 5) / (3 * 4) = 10/12

To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

(10/12) ÷ (2/2) = 5/6

Thus, the answer in simplest form is 5/6.

Answer 4
