Question

5 and 1/3 × 3 and 3/4

Answer 1

we'll first off convert the mixed fractions to "improper", and then multiply.


`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5(1)/(3)}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{16}{3}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{mixed}{3(3)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{4}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{16}{3}* \cfrac{15}{4}\implies \cfrac{15}{3}* \cfrac{16}{4}\implies 5* 4\implies 20`
