Question

12+(7/8x 5 5/14) multiplying fractions

Answer 1

Step 1: Convert
`5 (5)/(14)` to an improper fraction. Use this rule
`a (b)/(c) = (ac+b)/(c)`


`12+ (7)/(8) * (5*14+5)/(14)`

Step 2: Simplify 5 x 14 to 70


`12+ (7)/(8)* (70+5)/(14)`

Step 3: Simplify 70 + 5 to 75


`12+ (7)/(8)* (75)/(14)`

Step 4: Apply this rule:
`(a)/(b) * (c)/(d) = (ac)/(bd)`


`12+ (7*75)/(8*14)`

Step 5: Simplify 7 x 75 to 525


`12+ (525)/(8*14)`

Step 6: Simplify 8 x 14 to 112


`12+ (525)/(112)`

Step 7: Simplify
`(525)/(112)` to
`(75)/(16)`

Step 8: Simplify
