Options:
Option 1: 7 1/3
Option 2: 8 3/4
Option 3: 10 1/2
Option 4: 12 5/6

Answer 1

To find the product of the given mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions, multiply them, and simplify. The resulting answer, after double-checking, does not match any of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to find the product of three mixed numbers: (1 1/8) × (6 3/5) × (2 4/9). First, we convert each mixed number into an improper fraction:

• 1 1/8 = 9/8
• 6 3/5 = 33/5
• 2 4/9 = 22/9

Next, we multiply the improper fractions:

(9/8) × (33/5) × (22/9) = (9 × 33 × 22) / (8 × 5 × 9)

Simplifying the product, we get:

(297 × 22) / 360 = 6534/360

Converting this back into a mixed number and simplifying:

6534/360 = 18 54/360 = 18 3/20

None of the provided options matches the calculated answer. Therefore, we need to double-check our calculations.
