To multiply ⅘ by 7 ⅓, first, we convert both numbers to improper fractions.
⅘ can be written as 4/5.
7 ⅓ can be written as 7 + 1/3 = 7 + 3/3 = 7 + 3/3 = 7 + 1 = 8/1 + 1 = 8/1 + 1/1 = 9/1.
Next, we multiply the two fractions:
4/5 * 9/1 = 36/5.
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
36 ÷ 5 = 7 remainder 1.
The quotient is 7, which represents the whole number part of the mixed number. The remainder 1 represents the numerator of the fraction part, and the denominator remains 5.
Therefore, the product ⅘ * 7 ⅓, expressed as a mixed number, is 7 1/5.
Multiply ⅘ by 7 ⅓. Convert the product to be a mixed number.
