Answer:
Convert any mixed numbers to fractions:
1 13/16 = 29/16
Multiply all of the numerators by each other. Do the same with the denominators and form a new fraction with these values:
8 times 29/1 times 16 = 232/16
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 232 and 16 is 8. The result can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 8.
232/16 = 232/8 over 16/8 = 29/2
29 ÷ 2 = 14 remainder 1, therefore:
29/2 = 14 1/2
8 times 1 13/16 = 14 1/2
As decimal it would be 14.5
