Question

Please help


what is 2 x 1 1/2

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

2 times 1 is 2 and then multiply 1/2 by 2 and you'll get 1 then add those two numbers together and you will get 3. Note: The best way to do these types of things in multiplication is to split the numbers up among the decimal places so if you did 15 times 4 then an easy way to do it would be to split the 15 with 10 and 5 so then multiply the 10 by 4 and you get 40 now do the same to the 5 and you get 20 so now add those two numbers together and you get 60(This has nothing to do with the answer i just want to help make it easier for future problems such as this).

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

[Given]

2 *
`1(1)/(2)`

[Make improper fractions and solve by multiplying across]

`(2)/(1)*(3)/(2) =(6)/(2)=3`
