Multiply 7/10 times 5. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
To multiply 7/10 by 5, we can set up the multiplication as follows:
7/10 * 5/1
Now we can multiply the numerators (7 * 5) to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators (10 * 1) to get the new denominator:
(7 * 5) / (10 * 1) = 35/10
Since the numerator (35) is larger than the denominator (10), we can simplify this fraction as a mixed number.
To do that, we divide the numerator (35) by the denominator (10) to get the whole number part and the remainder:
35 ÷ 10 = 3 remainder 5
So the mixed number in simplest form is 3 5/10.
