To multiply \( \frac{4}{9} \) by \( 7 \), follow these steps:
- Rewrite \( 7 \) as a fraction: \( 7 = \frac{7}{1} \).
- Multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{4 \times 7}{9 \times 1} = \frac{28}{9}. \]
- Convert \( \frac{28}{9} \) to a mixed number. Divide \( 28 \) by \( 9 \):
- \( 28 \div 9 = 3 \) (whole number) with a remainder of \( 1 \).
So, \( \frac{28}{9} = 3 \frac{1}{9} \).
The answer is \( 3 \frac{1}{9} \).
