Explanation:
7 1/5 × 49 7/5 = 49
convert mixed numbers into improper fractions (whole number × denominator + numerator)
7 × 5 + 1 = 36
49 × 5 + 7 = 252
36/5 × 252/5 = 49
All fractions must have a common denominator
49 × 5 = 245
36/5 × 252/5 = 245/5
Add numerators
36 + 252 = 288
288/5 = 245/5
57 3/5 = 49
These do not equal each other according to my calculations. Is the problem written correctly? Or did I misinterpret a given number?
