Question

Calculate 23 x 3/4A. 30 2/3B. 16 3/4C. 18 2/4D. 17 1/4

Answer 1

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question

STEP 1: Write the problem

`23*(3)/(4)`

STEP 2: Solve the problem

`\begin{gathered} 23*(3)/(4)=(23)/(1)*(3)/(4) \\ \text{ Since there are no co}mmon\text{ factors, we multiply the numerators and the denominators} \\ \Rightarrow(23*3)/(1*4)=(69)/(4) \end{gathered}`

STEP 3: We simplify the result in step 2 into a mixed fraction

`\begin{gathered} (69)/(4) \\ 69/4=17\text{ with a remainder of 1} \\ \text{This written as fraction gives:} \\ 17(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the solution for the multiplication is:

`17(1)/(4)`
