Question

Solve 9 and select the correct options from the drop-down boxes to show your solution as a mixed number Choose Choose 8

Answer 1

Notice that 9=9/1; therefore,

`9*(5)/(8)=(9)/(1)*(5)/(8)=(9\cdot5)/(1\cdot8)=(45)/(8)`

Simplifying the answer,

`\Rightarrow9*(5)/(8)=(40+5)/(8)=(40)/(8)+(5)/(8)=5+(5)/(8)`

As a mixed number, the answer is 5 5/8. Choose 5 in both options.
