multiply -1 1/6 by 7. Write your answer as a mixed number
To solve this problem, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
The mixed number -1 1/6 can be written as -7/6.
Then, we multiply -7/6 by 7:
-7/6 * 7 = -49/6
Now we need to write the answer as a mixed number.
To convert the improper fraction -49/6 to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (-49) by the denominator (6).
Dividing -49 by 6 gives us a quotient of -8 and a remainder of -1.
Therefore, the answer is written as a mixed number: -8 1/6.
To multiply -1 and 1/6 by 7, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1/6 as an improper fraction is (1 * 6 + 1) / 6 = 7/6.
Step 2: Multiply the numerators of the two fractions to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.
(-1) * (7/6) = -7/6.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, -7/6 is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, the answer to the multiplication -1 * 1/6 * 7 as a mixed number is -7/6.
To multiply -1 1/6 by 7, we will first convert -1 1/6 to an improper fraction and then multiply it by 7.
-1 1/6 can be written as -7/6 in improper fraction form. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. Then, place the sum as the numerator over the original denominator.
Now, let's multiply -7/6 by 7:
-7/6 * 7 = (-7*7) / (6*1)
= -49 / 6
To write the answer as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (-49) by the denominator (6). The quotient will be the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder will be the numerator of the fractional part.
-49 ÷ 6 = -8 remainder 1
Therefore, the mixed number is:
-8 1/6
