Question

Multiply. Express your answer in simplest form.
7 and 1/8 x 2

Answer 1

14 1/4

Explanation:

7 1/8 * 2 is the same as 7 1/8 + 7 1/8

I converted 7 1/8 into a improper fraction: 57/8

Then I multiplied it by 2.

`(57)/(8) * (2)/(1)` =
`(57)/(4)`

(answer is in simple form)

After that, I converted it back to a mixed fraction: 14 1/4

I hope this helps.
