Question

What is 4 1/3 x 4 1/5=

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{4(1)/(3)*4(1)/(5)=18(1)/(5)}`

Explanation:

`4(1)/(3)*4(1)/(5)\\\\\bold{STEP\ 1}\\\text{convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions}\\\\4(1)/(3)=(4*3+1)/(3)=(12+1)/(3)=(13)/(3)\\\\4(1)/(5)=(4*5+1)/(5)=(20+1)/(5)=(21)/(5)\\\\\bold{STEP\ 2}\\\text{simplify fractions}\\\\4(1)/(3)*4(1)/(5)=(13)/(3)*(21)/(5)=(13)/(1)*(7)/(5)\\\\\bold{STEP\ 3}\\\text{multiply numerators and denominators}\\\\=(13*7)/(1*5)=(91)/(5)`

`\bold{STEP 4}\\\text{convert the improper fraction to the mixed number}\\\\=(91)/(5)=(90+1)/(5)=(90)/(5)+(1)/(5)=18(1)/(5)`

Answer 2

18 1/5

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well to multiply them let's make them improper.

13/3 * 21/5

13*21 = 273

3*5 = 15

273/15

Simplified

18 1/5

Hope this helps :)
