Question

Find the product. Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form. 5 4/5 x 2 5/9

Answer 1

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then get their product.

`\stackrel{mixed}{5(4)/(5)}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 5+4}{5}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{29}{5}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2(5)/(9)}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 9+5}{9}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{23}{9}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{29}{5}\cdot \cfrac{23}{9}\implies \cfrac{667}{45}\implies 14(37)/(45)`

Answer 2

5 4/5=29/5

25/9=23/9

Explanation:

5×5+4/5=29/5

2×9+5/9=23/9

the answer is correct?
