Is that what the problem is asking? 15 * 15 7/8 = 15 * (15*8 + 7)/8 = 15 * 127 / 8 = 1905/8

that's the question GT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you are asked such problems with a mixed fraction involved - like 15 7/8 - always convert that mixed fraction into an improper fraction first - like 127/8. Then, it is all basic arithmetic.
