Final answer:
Option A). To perform the indicated operation (22 6/11) x (1 1/2), convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, then multiply the fractions and simplify the result. The correct answer is A. 22 7/22.
Step-by-step explanation:
To perform the indicated operation (22 6/11) x (1 1/2), we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. The first number is already an improper fraction, 22 6/11, and the second number can be converted to an improper fraction as follows: 1 1/2 = 3/2. Now, we can multiply the two fractions together:
(22 6/11) x (1 1/2) = (242/11) x (3/2) = (2 x 242 x 3) / (11 x 2) = 1452/22 = 66 12/22 = 66 6/11.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 22 7/22.
