Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form. 1 3/5 x 4
1 3/5 x 4 =
First, multiply the whole numbers:
1 x 4 = 4
Then multiply the fractions:
3/5 x 4/1 = (3 x 4) / (5 x 1) = 12/5
4 + 12/5 =
To add the whole numbers and the fractions, we need to convert the whole number (4) to a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction (5).
4 = 4/1
4/1 + 12/5 =
To add the fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 5:
(4 x 5) / (1 x 5) + 12/5 = 20/5 + 12/5 = 32/5
32/5 is an improper fraction, but we can simplify it to a mixed number:
32/5 = 6 2/5
So, 1 3/5 x 4 = 6 2/5.
To find the product of 1 3/5 and 4, we first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 3/5 can be written as (5*1 + 3)/5, which is equal to 8/5.
Now multiply 8/5 by 4:
8/5 x 4 = (8 x 4)/(5 x 1) = 32/5.
To express this fraction as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (32) by the denominator (5):
32 ÷ 5 = 6 with a remainder of 2.
Therefore, 32/5 is equal to the mixed number 6 2/5 in simplest form.
To find the answer to 1 3/5 x 4, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (3). This gives us 8 as the new numerator. The denominator remains the same, which is 5. Therefore, 1 3/5 is equal to 8/5.
Now, we can multiply 8/5 by 4. To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators (8 x 4) to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators (5 x 1) to get the new denominator. This gives us 32/5.
To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator (32) by the denominator (5). The quotient is 6 with a remainder of 2. Therefore, 32/5 can be written as a mixed number in simplest form as 6 2/5.
