The product of 7/16, 4/3 and 1/2 is
A. 2 13/48.
B. 21/32.
C. 7/24.
D. 7/12.
7/16*4/3*1/2=28/96
can you explain to me the next step
Divide 28 by 96
Now reduce it. Find the number that will go into each evenly.
28/4 = 7
96/4 = 24
Please forget this statement: "Divide 28 by 96." That isn't appropriate for your question.
To compute the product of fractions, you multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and then multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) together. In this case, the numerators are 7, 4, and 1; the denominators are 16, 3, and 2.
Therefore, multiplying the numerators gives us 7 × 4 × 1 = 28. Multiplying the denominators gives us 16 × 3 × 2 = 96.
So, 7/16 * 4/3 * 1/2 = 28/96.
The fraction 28/96 can be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (28) and the denominator (96), which is 4. We can then divide both the numerator and denominator by 4, resulting in 7/24.
Thus, the final answer is C. 7/24.
