Scroll down to multiplying fractions. Study the directions and examples.
I don’t have time to study it. It’s going to be due
That's your problem, Bree. Next time, study first, play later.
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with these multiplication problems!
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and then multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom). Let's go through each problem one by one:
1. 5/6 x 10
To solve this, you multiply the numerator (5) by 10: 5 x 10 = 50. The denominator remains the same, so the answer is 50/6. However, it's a good idea to simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 50/6 simplifies to 25/3.
2. 3/7 x 2/3
Multiply the numerators (3 x 2 = 6) and multiply the denominators (7 x 3 = 21). The answer is 6/21, but it can be simplified. Both 6 and 21 have a factor of 3, so divide both by 3 to get the simplified form: 2/7.
3. 5/8 x 2/3
Multiply the numerators (5 x 2 = 10) and multiply the denominators (8 x 3 = 24). The answer is 10/24, which is not in simplest form. Simplify it by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case. After simplifying, you get 5/12.
4. 3 3/4 x 2 2/3
To multiply mixed numbers, first convert them to improper fractions. 3 3/4 can be written as 15/4, and 2 2/3 can be written as 8/3.
Multiply the numerators (15 x 8 = 120) and multiply the denominators (4 x 3 = 12). The answer is 120/12, which simplifies to 10/1 or simply 10.
However, since the original problem was given as mixed numbers, we should convert 10 back to a mixed number. Dividing 10 by 1, we get a whole number of 10 with no remainder. So the final answer is 10.
5. 2 5/6 x 1 7/8
Again, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 2 5/6 becomes 17/6, and 1 7/8 becomes 15/8.
Multiply the numerators (17 x 15 = 255) and multiply the denominators (6 x 8 = 48). The answer is 255/48, which can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case. After simplifying, you get 85/16.
Since the answer is an improper fraction, it can also be expressed as a mixed number. Dividing 85 by 16, the quotient is 5 with a remainder of 5. So the final answer is 5 5/16.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
