Multiply 3/7
by 9/10
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
So,
(3/7) * (9/10) = (3 * 9) / (7 * 10) = 27/70.
Multiply 4/9
by −3
. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, you can convert the whole number to a fraction by placing it over 1.
Thus,
(4/9) * -3 = (4/9) * (-3/1) = (-4 * 3) / (9 * 1) = -12/9.
To simplify the resulting fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which in this case is 3. Divide the numerator and denominator by 3:
-12/9 = (-12 ÷ 3) / (9 ÷ 3) = -4/3.
As a mixed number, -4/3 is equal to -1 and 1/3.
Multiply 2/3
by 1 1/4
. Write the answer in simplest form.
To multiply a fraction by a mixed number, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 1/4 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:
1 1/4 = (4 * 1 + 1) / 4 = 5/4.
Now, you can multiply 2/3 by 5/4:
(2/3) * (5/4) = (2 * 5) / (3 * 4) = 10/12.
To simplify the resulting fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which in this case is 2. Divide the numerator and denominator by 2:
10/12 = (10 ÷ 2) / (12 ÷ 2) = 5/6.
Therefore, the answer, in simplest form, is 5/6.
Multiply 9.6
by 0.2. Write the answer as a decimal.
To multiply decimals, ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Then, count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers and place the decimal point in the result accordingly.
In this case, 9.6 * 0.2 can be calculated as:
96 * 2 = 192.
Since the original numbers have a total of two decimal places (0.2 has one decimal place, and 9.6 has one decimal place), the final answer should also have two decimal places.
Therefore, 9.6 multiplied by 0.2 equals 1.92 as a decimal.
Multiply 2.6 by −1.3
.
To multiply decimals, ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Then, count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers and place the decimal point in the result accordingly.
In this case, multiplying 2.6 by -1.3 would result in:
26 * 13 = 338.
Since the original numbers have a total of three decimal places (2.6 has one decimal place, and -1.3 has two decimal places), the final answer should also have three decimal places.
Therefore, 2.6 multiplied by -1.3 equals -3.38 as a decimal.
Use properties of operations and rules for multiplying signed numbers to multiply −2/5 by 3/10
. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
For −2/5 * 3/10, the calculation would be:
(-2 * 3) / (5 * 10) = -6/50.
To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 2. Divide the numerator and denominator by 2:
-6/50 = (-6 ÷ 2) / (50 ÷ 2) = -3/25.
Therefore, the answer, in simplest form, is -3/25.
Multiply 4 by −58. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
To multiply a whole number by an integer, you simply multiply the numbers together.
For 4 * -58, the calculation would be:
4 * -58 = -232.
To write the answer as a mixed number, you divide the result (-232) by the second number (-58), and the quotient will be the whole number part, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fraction part.
232 ÷ 58 = 4 with a remainder of 0.
Therefore, the answer as a mixed number in simplest form is -4.

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, you multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction and then divide the product by the denominator.
For 4 * -5/8, the calculation would be:
4 * (-5/8) = -20/8.
To simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 4:
-20/8 = (-20 ÷ 4) / (8 ÷ 4) = -5/2.
As a mixed number, -5/2 can be converted by dividing the numerator (-5) by the denominator (2). The quotient will be the whole number part, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fraction part.
-5 ÷ 2 = -2 with a remainder of -1.
Therefore, the answer as a mixed number in simplest form is -2 1/2.

To multiply decimal numbers, ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Then, count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers and place the decimal point in the result accordingly.
For 6.5 * 0.3, the calculation would be:
65 * 3 = 195.
Since the original numbers have a total of two decimal places (6.5 has one decimal place, and 0.3 has one decimal place), the final answer should also have two decimal places.
Therefore, 6.5 multiplied by 0.3 equals 1.95 as a decimal.

To multiply decimal numbers, ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Then, count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers and place the decimal point in the result accordingly.
For −19.3 * 6, the calculation would be:
193 * 6 = 1158.
Since the original numbers have one decimal place (−19.3 has one decimal place), the final answer should have one decimal place.
Therefore, −19.3 multiplied by 6 equals −115.8 as a decimal.

To multiply mixed numbers, you first convert them to improper fractions.
For −2 1/2, the improper fraction equivalent is -5/2.
For −1 3/5, the improper fraction equivalent is -8/5.
To multiply -5/2 by -8/5, you multiply the numerators and denominators:
(-5 * -8) / (2 * 5) = 40/10.
Simplifying the fraction, you divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 10:
40/10 = (40 ÷ 10) / (10 ÷ 10) = 4/1 = 4.
Therefore, the answer, written as a decimal, is 4.
