Question

What is 1 2/3 multiplied by 4 1/4 as a mixed number or fraction

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

The first step is to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions

1
`(2)/(3)` =
`(5)/(3)`

4
`(1)/(4)` =
`(17)/(4)`

We now have

`(5)/(3)` ×
`(17)/(4)`

There is no cancelling of factors, so multiply the values on the numerators and the values on the denominators

=
`(5(17))/(3(4))` =
`(85)/(12)` = 7
`(1)/(12)`
