Question

5 wholes times 7/9
as an fraction

Answer 1

`\boxed{(35)/(9) \text{ or } 3(8)/(9)}`

Explanation:

We can rewrite 5 as a fraction and then multiply across.

======================================================

`5 * (7)/(9)\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\text{5 can be rewritten as: } (5)/(1) \\\\(5)/(1) *(7)/(9)\\\\(5*7)/(1*9)\\\\\boxed{(35)/(9)}`

======================================================

Since it is unclear weather to have a mixed fraction or improper fraction, I will list both.

======================================================

9 can fit into 35 three times with 8 left over.

`(35)/(9)=\boxed{3(8)/(9)}`

======================================================

Hope this helps!
