Question

3/4 8 1/2 =
explain how you got the answer

Answer 1

`(51)/(8) \:or \: 6(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

solution given:

`(3)/(4) *8(1)/(2)`

let make mixed fraction to normal fraction

`8(1)/(2) =(8*2+1)/(2) =(17)/(2)`

replace
`(17)/(2)`

we have

`(3)/(4) *(17)/(2)`

in multplication fraction, we multiply numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator.

`(3)/(4) *(17)/(2)=(3*17)/(4*2) =(51)/(8)`

again

in mixed fraction =
`6(3)/(8)`
