Question

What number is 1 1/4 of 2 2/5?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

First, let's convert 1 1/4 to an improper fraction:

1 1/4 = (4 * 1 + 1) / 4 = 5/4

Next, convert 2 2/5 to an improper fraction:

2 2/5 = (5 * 2 + 2) / 5 = 12/5

Now, multiply the two fractions:

(5/4) * (12/5) = (5 * 12) / (4 * 5) = 60/20

Finally, simplify the fraction:

60/20 = 3/1 = 3

Therefore, 1 1/4 of 2 2/5 is equal to 3.
