Question

Compute 49/24 of 15/14. Give your answer as a fraction in simplest form (not a mixed number).

Answer 1

49/24 of 15/14 is just their product, thus


`\bf \cfrac{49}{24}\cdot \cfrac{15}{14}\implies \cfrac{49\cdot 15}{24\cdot 14}\implies \cfrac{35}{16}`

Answer 2

Answer:
`(35)/(16)`

Explanation:

To compute :
`(49)/(24)\text{ of }(15)/(14)`

We need to replace 'of' by '×' , we get

`(49)/(24)*(15)/(14)`

`=(49*15)/(24*14)`

`=(7*7*3*5)/(3*8*2*7)`

Cancel out a 7 and 3 from numerator and denominator , we get

`=(7*5)/(8*2)\\\\=(35)/(16)` ( improper form)

Hence, the answer =
`(35)/(16)`
