Question

Find the answer to 3/5 × 4 1/3

Answer 1

We are asked to find the product of a fraction times a mixed number as shown below:

`(3)/(5)\cdot4(1)/(3)`

So we proceed to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction as shown:

`4(1)/(3)=(12)/(3)+(1)/(3)=(13)/(3)`

and now we complete the product of fractions:

`(3)/(5)\cdot(13)/(3)=(13)/(5)=2(3)/(5)`

which gives as answer the improper fraction 13/5 which we can convert in mixed number as: 2 3/5
