Question

Evaluate ab for a = 2 3/4 and b = 4/5

Answer 1

Saying ab in Algebra means a×b.
So, you're multiplying 2
`(3)/(4)` to
`(4)/(5)`.
But, the mixed number is best as a mixed number, so it becomes
`(11)/(4)`
So, this happens to become
`(11*4)/(4*5)`, multiplying to
`(44)/(20)`.
BUT, you need to simplify it!
The simplest form is
`(11)/(5)`, which is your answer.
