Question

multiply 7/5 times 4/3 convert the answer to a mixed number.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.

Further, to simplify the fraction to a mixed number, you divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient will become the whole number part, and the remainder will become the numerator of the fraction.

Let's calculate step by step:

7/5 * 4/3 = (7 * 4) / (5 * 3) = 28/15

Now, let's convert this improper fraction to a mixed number:

To do so, we divide the numerator (28) by the denominator (15).

28 ÷ 15 = 1 remainder 13

This implies 1 whole number and a fraction of 13/15.

Therefore, the product of 7/5 and 4/3 in mixed number form is 1 13/15.
