Question

3 1/4 x 2/3 = ??grade. 7th

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`3\cdot(1)/(4)\cdot(2)/(3)`

Fist step is to express the "whole" as a fraction, for this, divide it by 1

`(3)/(1)\cdot(1)/(4)\cdot(2)/(3)`

Second step, multiply the first two fractions:

`(3)/(1)\cdot(1)/(4)=(3\cdot1)/(1\cdot4)=(3)/(4)`

Third step, multiply the result of the first operation by the third fraction:

`(3)/(4)\cdot(2)/(3)=(3\cdot2)/(4\cdot3)=(6)/(12)`

Finally simplify the expression, both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 6 so:

`(6/6)/(12/6)=(1)/(2)`

Then the result for the given expression is 1/2

`3\cdot(1)/(4)\cdot(2)/(3)=(1)/(2)`
