Question

2 1/3x4 1/5 in simplest form

Answer 1

• 8 1/15 (Simplest form).

Explanation:

Given equation:

• 2 1/3 * 4 1/5

Solve the whole numbers first.

• 2 * 4 = 8

Let's solve fractions, in a form what I call, the mashed fraction:

• 1/3 * 1/5
• =
  `(1 * 1)/(3 * 5)`
• = 1/15

Add both of them up:

• 8 + 1/15
• = 8 1/15

Can't simplify it, so 8 1/15 is the answer.

Answer 2

`{ \tt{2 (1)/(3) * 4 (1)/(5) }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ (7)/(3) * (21)/(5) }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ (147)/(15) }} \\ \\ = (49)/(5) \\ \\ = 9 (4)/(5)`
