Question

Adante begins to evaluate the expression 3 1/3 x 5 1/4 using the steps below

Answer 1

`(35)/(2)`

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to write the mixed fraction as a fractional number, as follows:

`3 1/3 = 3 + (1)/(3) = (9+1)/(3) = (10)/(3)`

`5 1/4 = 5 + (1)/(4) = (20+1)/(4) = (21)/(4)`

Then, evaluating the expression:

`(10)/(3)`×
`(21)/(4)` =
`(210)/(12)` =
`(35)/(2)`
