Answer:
$14.29
Explanation:
Any number can be converted to fraction if you use 1 as the denominator:
50/1
So now that we've converted 50 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 2/7 side by side with our new fraction, 50/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.
2 x 50
7 x 1
=
100
7
As you can see in this case, the numerator is higher than the denominator. What this means is that we can simplify the answer down to a mixed number, also known as a mixed fraction.
