Question

Which is the product of 56 and 5/9
1, 1 and 4/9
2, 30
3, 31
4, 31 and 1/9​

Answer 1

4.

Explanation:

strange phrasing of the answer options.

anyway, the product of 56 and 5/9 is

56 × 5/9 = 56×5 / 9 = 280/9 = 31 1/9

or as the definition says 31 and 1/9.

because 31×9 = 279.

280 - 279 = 1

so, there is a remainder of 1, which means 1/9.

280/9 = 279/9 + 1/9 = 31 1/9
