Multiply 7/10 times 5. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

1 answer

7/10 times 5 is equal to 35/10.

To write this as a mixed number in simplest form, we divide the numerator (35) by the denominator (10).

35 ÷ 10 = 3 remainder 5

So the mixed number in simplest form is 3 5/10.

However, we can simplify this further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5.

35 ÷ 5 = 7
10 ÷ 5 = 2

Therefore, the final answer is 3 1/2.
