Question

Multiply 5 2/5 x 9 2/10 show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:
`49(7)/(10)`

Turn 5 2/5 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 5*5 and get 25. Now add 2 and get 27.

5 2/5=27/5

Turn 9 2/10 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 9*10 and get 90. Now add 2 and get 92.

9 2/10=92/10

New problem: 27/5×92/10

Multiply

`27/5*92/10=2484/50`

Divide

`2485/50=49.7`

Turn 49.7 into a Mixed Number

`49.7=49(7)/(10)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

`5 (2)/(5) * 9 (2)/(10) \\ (27)/(5) * (92)/(10) \\ (2484)/(50) \\ = 49.68`
