how do you muiltply fractions and mixed numbers?
It's wrong all wrong
It's wrong I tell u
it is simple all u got to do is make uneven fraction to its mixed number
To multiply fractions and mixed numbers, follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions (if needed):
- A mixed number has a whole number part and a fractional part. To convert it to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator. Place the result over the original denominator.
2. Multiply the numerators of the fractions together:
- Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the fractions or mixed numbers together. This gives you the numerator of the product.
3. Multiply the denominators of the fractions together:
- Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the fractions or mixed numbers together. This gives you the denominator of the product.
4. Simplify (reduce) the fraction (if needed):
- If the numerator and denominator have common factors, divide them by the greatest common divisor to simplify the fraction. Simplifying is optional, but it helps to write the answer in simplest form.
5. If needed, convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:
- If the result is an improper fraction (numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator), you can convert it to a mixed number. Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the whole number part, and use the remainder as the new numerator. Place this over the original denominator.
It's important to note that multiplication is commutative, meaning you can multiply the fractions in any order and still get the same result.
I hope this helps! If you have a specific example, feel free to provide it, and I can guide you through the process step by step.
Convert the mixed number to a fraction, and the multiply the numerators and denominators separately.
Example:
(2/7) x (2 5/8)
= (2/7) x (21/8)
= 42/56 = 3/4
