To find the product of 6 and 2 1/7, we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
To convert 2 1/7 to an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (7) and add the numerator (1).
2 * 7 + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15
So, 2 1/7 can be written as the improper fraction 15/7.
Now, we can multiply 6 by 15/7.
6 * 15/7 = (6 * 15) / 7 = 90/7
To convert the improper fraction 90/7 back into a mixed number, we divide the numerator (90) by the denominator (7).
90 รท 7 = 12 remainder 6
The quotient (12) becomes the whole number of the mixed number, and the remainder (6) becomes the numerator of the proper fraction. The denominator remains the same.
Therefore, 90/7 can be written as the mixed number 12 6/7.
Multiply 6 by 2 1/7 . Convert the product to be a mixed number
