Answer: 36 3/32

Turn 5 1/4 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 5*4 and get 20. Now add 1 and get 21.

5 1/4 = 21/4

Turn 2 1/2 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 2*2 and get 4. Now add 1 and get 5.

2 1/2 = 5/2

Turn 2 3/4 into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 2*4 and get 8. Now add 3 and get 11.

2 3/4 = 11/4

Your New Problem: 21/4×5/2×11/4

Multiply

21/4×5/2×11/4=1155/32

Simplify

1155÷32=36.09375

Trun 36.09375 into a Mixed Number

36.09375 = 36 3/32
