Question

What is 1 1/2 times 1 3/8 in detail

Answer 1

I am unsure on how to go in to detail but the correct answer would be

2 1/16

Answer 2

1. We change the mixed fraction into a improper fraction.

1 1/2 ( 1 * 2 = 2 + 1 ) = 3/2

1 3/8 ( 1 * 8 = 8 + 3 ) = 11/8

2. Multiply.

3/2 * 11/8

3(11) = 33

2(8) = 16

3. 33/16

4. Simplify.

16 can go into 33, 2 times, with a remainder of 1.

Answer: 2 1/16
