Next, we multiply 6 by 15/7:
6 * 15/7 = 90/7
To convert the product 90/7 to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (90) by the denominator (7) and write the quotient as the whole number part.
90 รท 7 = 12 remainder 6
The quotient is 12, so the whole number part of the mixed number is 12. The remainder is 6, which becomes the numerator of the fractional part. The denominator remains the same, which is 7.
Therefore, the product of 6 and 2 1/7 as a mixed number is 12 6/7.
6 by 2 1/7
