To multiply 1 1/4 by 3/5, we can first convert the mixed number 1 1/4 to an improper fraction.
The improper fraction equivalent of 1 1/4 is (4 * 1 + 1) / 4 = 5/4.
Now we can multiply 5/4 by 3/5.
(5/4) * (3/5) = (5 * 3) / (4 * 5) = 15/20.
Therefore, 1 1/4 multiplied by 3/5 equals 15/20.
To multiply 1 1/4 by 3/5, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
1 1/4 = (4*1 + 1)/4 = 5/4
Step 2: Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together.
5/4 * 3/5 = (5 * 3)/(4 * 5) = 15/20
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction.
The numerator and denominator share a common factor of 5. Divide both by 5.
15/20 = (15/5)/(20/5) = 3/4
So, 1 1/4 multiplied by 3/5 is equal to 3/4.
To find the product of 1 1/4 and 3/5, you need to convert the mixed number 1 1/4 to an improper fraction. Here's how to do it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the whole number part to a fraction.
Since 1 is the whole number part of the mixed number, it can be written as 1/1.
Step 2: Combine the whole number fraction with the fraction part.
To combine the whole number fraction (1/1) with the fractional part (1/4), you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4. So, rewrite 1/1 as 4/4 and add it to 1/4.
Step 3: Add the fractions together.
The sum of 4/4 and 1/4 is 5/4.
Now that you have converted 1 1/4 to its improper fraction form, you can multiply it by 3/5:
Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together: 1 * 3 = 3.
Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together: 4 * 5 = 20.
Therefore, the product of 1 1/4 and 3/5 is 3/20.
