Study Notes
Problem Setup
- The problem requires multiplying two mixed numbers: 2 and 4/5 and 1 and 2/3.
Step-by-Step Solution
- Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- 2 and 4/5 = (2 * 5 + 4)/5 = 14/5
- 1 and 2/3 = (1 * 3 + 2)/3 = 5/3
- Multiply the improper fractions:
- (14/5) * (5/3) = (14 * 5) / (5 * 3)
- Simplify the fraction:
- 70/15 = (70 ÷ 5) / (15 ÷ 5) = 14/3
- Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
- 14/3 = 4 and 2/3
Answer
- The solution to 2 and 4/5 times 1 and 2/3 is 4 and 2/3.
