I don't get fractions like this e.g
8 1/2 x 2/5?
3/7 x 6 1/6?
Please help.

Answer 1

See, these are mixed fractions. I can explain it to you.

Answer 2

\[\Large \text{Mixed fraction} -> a{b \over c}\]

Answer 3

If you wanna simplify, you should use this formula.
\[\Large {ac + b \over c}\]

Answer 4

but i don't understand what the answer is ? It's for my homework.

Answer 5

Understand the concept, and then write.

Answer 6

\[\Large 6{1 \over 6} = {(6 * 6) + 1 \over 6} = {37 \over 6}\]

Answer 7

So its 6 x 6 +1?

Answer 8

To make a mixed number into an improper fraction, you multiply the base number by the denominator and then add the numerator. Then you put that number over the denominator. :D
To multiply, you just multiply straight across..
