Question

What is .75 times 1 7/9

Answer 1

1. Simplify fractions before the multiplying:

75/100 = 3·25/
`(75)/(100)= (3·25)/(4·25) = (3)/(4)` = 3/4

2. Transform the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

`1(7)/(9) = (7 + 1·9)/(9) = (16)/(9)`

3. Multiplying two fractions:

`(3)/(4) × (16)/(9) = (3·16)/(4·9) = (48)/(36)`

4. Simplify the fraction:

`(48)/(36)= (4·12)/(3·12)= (4)/(3)`

5. Since the numerator greater then the denominator, convert the improper fraction to mixed number:
4/3 = 1 + 1·3/
`(4)/(3)= (1 + 1·3)/(3) =1 (1)/(3)` = 1 1/3

Hope this helps
