Answer 1

To multiply 4 by 2 3/7, you first need to convert 2 3/7 to an improper fraction.

To do this, you multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (7) and add the numerator (3). This gives you 2 * 7 + 3 = 14 + 3 = 17. So, 2 3/7 as an improper fraction is 17/7.

Now, you can multiply 4 by 17/7:

4 * 17/7 = (4 * 17) / 7 = 68/7.

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator (68) by the denominator (7). The quotient is the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder is the numerator of the fraction part.

68 ÷ 7 = 9 with a remainder of 5.

So, the mixed number is 9 5/7.
