Which is the value of 8*5 1/4*3 1/3?
A) 147
B) 120 1/8
C) 16/3
D) 53 1/8
To solve this problem, we need to multiply the whole numbers and the fractions separately, and then add the products together.
8 * 5 = 40
Next, we multiply the fractions:
1/4 * 3/3 = 3/12
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3:
3/12 ÷ 3/3 = 1/4
Now we have the following products:
40 + 1/4
To add these two together, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 4.
40/1 + 1/4 = 160/4 + 1/4 = 161/4
Therefore, the value of 8 * 5 1/4 * 3 1/3 is 161/4.
However, none of the answer choices match this value. Therefore, there may be a mistake in the original problem or the answer choices provided.
