Answer 1

Answer: 60 1/8

Explanation:

First, let’s convert both fractions into improper fractions. 6 1/2 as an improper fraction is: 13/2. 9 1/4 as an improper fraction is: 37/4.

Next, let’s multiply the numerators. 13 x 37 = 481.

Then, let’s multiply the denominators. 2 x 4 = 8.

Finally, we need to divide 481 by 8. 481/8 = 60.125. 0.125 = 1/8.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hey there!

First, let's put these fractions in improper form.

6 1/2= 13/2

9 1/4= 37/4

Now, we can multiply them!

`(13)/(2) *(37)/(4) =(481)/(8)`

This cannot be simplified anymore, so we will turn it back into a mixed number.

481/8= 60 1/8

Therefore, your answer is C) 60 1/8

I hope that this helps!
