Question

How do you multiply 1/3 and 2 and 3/4 ?

Answer 1

`(1)/(3)*2(3)/(4)=(11)/(12)`

Step-by-step explanation: We need to multiply the two given numbers, they are:

`\begin{gathered} (1)\rightarrow(1)/(3) \\ (2)\rightarrow2(3)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Multiplication:

`(1)*(2)=(1)/(3)*2(3)/(4)`

Before we proceed we will get the (2) in Improper fraction, form this is done as follows:

`(2)=2(3)/(4)=(4\cdot2+3)/(4)=(8+3)/(4)=(11)/(4)`

Therefore we can multiply the two in the following way:

`(1)*(2)\rightarrow(1)/(3)*(11)/(4)=(11)/(12)`
