Solve this problem. Reduce to lowest terms.
1 2 over 3 cross times 6 equals
To solve this problem, we need to first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 2/3 = (1 * 3 + 2)/3 = 5/3
Next, we cross multiply.
5/3 * 6 = 5 * 6 / 3 = 30/3 = 10
So, 1 2/3 cross times 6 equals 10.
Now, to reduce to lowest terms, we can simplify the resulting fraction.
10/1 = 10
Therefore, the final answer, reduced to lowest terms, is 10.
To solve the problem, it is important to simplify the expression and then reduce it to lowest terms.
Step 1: Multiply the whole number and the fraction
6 x 1 = 6
Step 2: Multiply the numerators
2 x 6 = 12
Step 3: Multiply the denominators
3 x 1 = 3
The result is 12 over 3.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator.
The GCD of 12 and 3 is 3.
Step 5: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD.
12 ÷ 3 = 4
3 ÷ 3 = 1
The simplified fraction is 4 over 1.
Therefore, the expression 1 2/3 cross times 6 reduces to 4.
To solve this problem and reduce to lowest terms, we need to perform the specified operation and simplify the result.
Let's break down the given expression step by step:
1 2 over 3 cross times 6
To start, we convert the mixed number 1 2/3 into an improper fraction:
1 2/3 = (1 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 5/3
The expression now becomes:
5/3 cross times 6
Next, we multiply the fractions by multiplying the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other:
(5 * 6) / (3 * 1) = 30/3
Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 3:
30/3 = (30 ÷ 3) / (3 ÷ 3) = 10/1
Therefore, the final answer, reduced to lowest terms, is 10.
