Question

Hi! I need some help with multiplying fractions with whole numbers, I'm a bit rusty.

Answer 1

Given:

`(7)/(2)mm\ast(14)/(5)mm`

Let's multiply the fractions.

To multiply the fractions, multiply the numertaors together, also multiply the denominators together.

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (7)/(2)\ast(14)/(5) \\ \\ (7\ast14)/(2\ast5) \end{gathered}`

Solving further:

cancel the common factor of 2:

`(7\ast7)/(1\ast5)=(49)/(5)`
