Question

What is this question?!?!? I need help!!!!!!!!!

Find 1 4/9 (−2 4/7) . Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: -3 5/7

Step-by-step explanation: Alrighty!! First thing we need to do is convert all mixed numbers to fractions.

1 4/9 becomes 13/9

-2 4/7 becomes -18/7

So our equation looks like this now:
`(13)/(9) * -(18)/(7)`

Multiply the numerators together, and the denominator together!! We get

`-(234)/(63)`

We notice that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 9. So now we simplify.

`-(26)/(7)`

Make into a mixed number:

`-3(5)/(7)`
