multiply 4/5 times 13/8. write the answer in simplest form and convert it to a mixed number.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and denominators together.
So, multiplying 4/5 by 13/8, we have:
(4/5) * (13/8) = (4 * 13) / (5 * 8) = 52/40
To simplify the fraction, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 52 and 40, which is 4.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get:
52/40 = (52 ÷ 4) / (40 ÷ 4) = 13/10
Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 13/10.
To convert it to a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator:
13 ÷ 10 = 1 remainder 3
So, the mixed number is 1 and 3/10.
