1 2/3 multiplied by 1 1/4 equals 25/12.
Actually, 1 2/3 multiplied by 1 1/4 equals 7/3 multiplied by 5/4 which comes to 35/12. Thus, the correct answer is 35/12, not 25/12.
To multiply mixed numbers, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
1 2/3 = (3 * 1 + 2) / 3 = 5/3
1 1/4 = (4 * 1 + 1) / 4 = 5/4
Step 2: Multiply the numerators (top numbers) of the fractions.
5/3 * 5/4 = (5 * 5) / (3 * 4) = 25/12
Therefore, 1 2/3 multiplied by 1 1/4 equals 25/12.
To multiply two mixed numbers, you'll need to convert them into improper fractions first. Let's break down the steps to find the product of 1 2/3 and 1 1/4.
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
1 2/3 = (1 × 3 + 2) / 3 = 5/3
1 1/4 = (1 × 4 + 1) / 4 = 5/4
Step 2: Multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together:
5/3 * 5/4 = (5 * 5) / (3 * 4) = 25/12
Therefore, the product of 1 2/3 and 1 1/4 is equal to 25/12.
