Question

1 1/2 * 14 Can you explain please i really don't remember how to multiply fractions

3. Multiply across - 3/2 * 14/1 = 42/2

4.Then simplify: 21

Answer 2

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{21}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{1 (1)/(2) * 14}`

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction

⇒
`\sf{ (2 * 1 + 1)/(2) * 14}`

⇒
`\sf{ (2 + 1)/(2) * 14}`

⇒
`\sf{ (3)/(2) * 14}`

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term

⇒
`\sf{ (3 * 14)/(2 * 1) }`

⇒
`\sf{ (42)/(2) }`

Divide 42 by 2

⇒
`\sf{21}`

Hope I helped!
