Question

Which is 1 3/4 of 150 1/2?

Answer 1

1¾ of 5½ is simply the product of both, so, let's firstly change the mixed fractions to "improper", and then get the product.


`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1(3)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{4}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{mixed}{150(1)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{150\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{301}{2}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{7}{4}\cdot \cfrac{301}{2}\implies \cfrac{2107}{8}\implies 263(3)/(8)`
