2 1/3 * 3 = ?

i forgot how to multiply fractions w/ mixed numbers

2 1/3 = 7/3

7/3 * 3/1 =

Multiply the numerators together. Then multiply the denominators together.

then divide it then i get 7

right?

if right, thank you soo much

Right. And you're welcome. :-)

on a road map with a scale of 1/4 inch per 10 miles, the highway from a to b is 1 3/8 long. How many miles long is the highway?

A. 44
B. 55
C. 65
D. 70
E. 90

To find the actual distance between Paula's home and City Hall, we need to multiply the distance indicated on the map with the scale factor.

The scale factor in this case is 3 miles per inch, which means that for every inch on the map, the corresponding distance in real life is 3 miles.

According to the map, Paula's home and City Hall are 2 1/3 inches apart. To find the actual distance, we need to multiply this by the scale factor, which is 3 miles per inch:

2 1/3 inches * 3 miles per inch = 7 miles

Therefore, the distance between Paula's home and City Hall is 7 miles.

So, the correct answer is: b) 7 miles.
