wait how do i do this one then
same thing?
10 x (-2 3/11)
is that just regular multiplying?
um find the product
Well if you plug that in to your calculator, you should get -22.727
What i did was 10 x (-25/11) = -22.727
If x is a multiplication sign, then yes this is regular multiplying.
However, you'll need to change the mixed number to a fraction.
2 3/11 = 25/11
10/1 * 25/11 = ?
Positive x negative = negative. Make sure your answer is negative
Thanks, Chopsticks. I missed the minus sign.
To multiply 10 by the mixed number (-2 3/11), you would first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction and then perform the multiplication. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
To convert the mixed number (-2 3/11) to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number (-2) by the denominator (11) and then add the numerator (3). This gives you:
(-2 * 11 + 3) / 11 = (-22 + 3) / 11 = -19 / 11.
So, (-2 3/11) can be expressed as -19/11.
Step 2: Multiply 10 by the improper fraction.
To multiply 10 by -19/11, you multiply the numerators (10 * -19) and the denominators (1 * 11) separately:
(10 * -19) / (1 * 11) = -190 / 11.
Therefore, 10 multiplied by (-2 3/11) is equal to -190/11.
If you prefer a decimal result, you can divide the numerator (-190) by the denominator (11) to get the decimal value. The result would be approximately -17.2727.
