Multiply 5/6 by 2 3/4 . Convert the product to be a mixed number.(1 point)
To multiply 5/6 by 2 3/4, you first need to convert the mixed number 2 3/4 to an improper fraction. To do that, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (4), then add the numerator (3) to get the new numerator.
2 * 4 = 8
8 + 3 = 11
So, 2 3/4 as an improper fraction is 11/4.
Now, multiply 5/6 by 11/4:
(5/6) * (11/4) = (5 * 11) / (6 * 4) = 55/24
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator (55) by the denominator (24):
55 ÷ 24 = 2 remainder 7
The whole number is 2, the numerator is 7, and the denominator is 24. So, the final answer when converted to a mixed number is 2 7/24.
NOT IT
I apologize for the previous response. Let's try it again.
To multiply 5/6 by 2 3/4, we first need to convert the mixed number 2 3/4 to an improper fraction.
To do this, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (4), then add the numerator (3). This gives us 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4.
Now, we can multiply 5/6 by 11/4:
(5/6) * (11/4) = (5 * 11) / (6 * 4) = 55/24.
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (55) by the denominator (24).
55 ÷ 24 = 2 remainder 7.
So, the product of 5/6 and 2 3/4 is equivalent to the mixed number 2 7/24.
