Question

To make a music video, Juan plays 2 1/3 video clip 1 1/2 Times. How long is Juans music video?

Answer 1

To determine the length of Juan's music video, multiply the video clip length of 2 1/3 minutes by 1 1/2 times, which equals 3 1/2 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the length of Juan's music video, we need to multiply the length of the video clip by the number of times it is played. Juan plays a 2 1/3 minute video clip 1 1/2 times. We must convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions before multiplying.

• Convert 2 1/3 to an improper fraction:
  (2 × 3) + 1 = 7/3.
• Convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:
  (1 × 2) + 1 = 3/2.

Now multiply the two improper fractions:

(7/3) × (3/2) = 21/6

Finally, we simplify the fraction 21/6 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

• 21 ÷ 3 = 7
• 6 ÷ 3 = 2

So, the simplified form is 7/2, which is equivalent to 3 1/2 minutes. Therefore, the length of Juan's music video is 3 1/2 minutes.

Answer 2

1/3=2/6
1/2=3/6
2 2/6*1 3/6=

(2*1) + (2/6*3/6)=
