Brenden read 3/4 of a book that was 7/8 inch thick . how much of the book , in inches , did he read ?

Autumn -- please post your answers with your problems.

OK Ms.sue first I did 3/4 times 7/8 that equal 42/8

Then I got 4 and 2/8 and final answer 4 and 1/4 I'm right ?

I'm sorry next time I will do that

( 3 / 4 ) * ( 7 / 8 ) = ( 3 * 7 ) / ( 4 * 8 ) = 21 / 32

And answer?

Autumn --

Your answer doesn't make any sense. Brenden read only part of a book that is less than an inch thick. How could have read over 4 inches of the book????

Bosnian is right.

So I should have simplify 21/32

21/32 is simplified. It can't be simplified any further.

So 21/32 is my answer
