Question

A black piece of pipe is 8 1/3 centimeters long. A silver piece of pipe is 2 3/5 times longer. How long is the silver piece of pipe?

Answer 1

Here is your answer:

First convert the mixed fractions into fractions:

8 1/3=25/3

2 3/5=13/5


Now multiply:

25×13=325÷5=65
3×5=15÷5=3

65/3 or 21 3/2
