Answer:


5 (1)/(16) is the answer.

Explanation:

Given:


2 (1)/(4) * 2 (1)/(4)

Step 1: Converting the mixed fraction into fraction:

Multiply 4 by 2 add 1 to the result.


2(1)/(4) =
(4 * 2+1)/(4)

=
(8+1)/(4)

=
(9)/(4)

Step 2: Performing the multiplication using the fraction

= >
(9)/(4) * (9)/(4)

=>
(81)/(16)

Step 3: Converting the product back to mixed fraction

divide 81 by 16 and find the remainder

=>
quotient (remainder)/(divisor)

Dividing 81 by 16 we get 5 as quotient and 1 as remainder

Thus the result in mixed fraction will be

=>
5 (1)/(16)
