2 2/7 x 1 3/8
a
3 1/7
b
2 6/56
c
2 3/28
d
3 2/5
To multiply 2 2/7 by 1 3/8, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
2 2/7 = (2*7 + 2)/7 = 16/7
1 3/8 = (1*8 + 3)/8 = 11/8
Next, multiply the numerators and denominators:
(16/7) * (11/8) = (16 * 11) / (7 * 8) = 176/56
Simplifying the fraction:
176/56 = (8*22) / (8*7) = 22/7
The answer is therefore:
22/7, which can be further simplified to 3 1/7.
So, the correct answer is a) 3 1/7.
