Question

By how much is the product of 9/5 and 8 1/4 greater than 5

Answer 1

Given:

The product of
`(9)/(5)` and
`8(1)/(4)` greater than 5.

To find:

By how much the product of
`(9)/(5)` and
`8(1)/(4)` greater than 5.

Solution:

First we need to find the product of
`(9)/(5)` and
`8(1)/(4)`.

`\text{Product}=(9)/(5)* 8(1)/(4)`

`\text{Product}=(9)/(5)* (8(4)+1)/(4)`

`\text{Product}=(9)/(5)* (33)/(4)`

`\text{Product}=14.85`

Now subtract 5 from the product.

`14.85-5=9.85`

Therefore, the product of
`(9)/(5)` and
`8(1)/(4)` is 9.85 greater than 5.
