Question

2 1/8 * 1 1/6 * 3

Answer 1

can you change each mixed number to an improper fraction ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

phi is correct...change to improper fractions

Answer 4

2 1/8 * 1 1/6 * 3 --> 17/8* 7/6* 3 --> 17/8*3 = 51/24 ,7/6*4=28/24,3/1*24/24=72/24

theres the imporoper fractions and all with a common denominator
51/24 28/24 72/24

Answer 5

^ @BlueHellWolf So which one is the correct answer?

Answer 6

once you have everything as fractions (3 is 3/1)
you multiply top times top and bottom times bottom

\[ \frac{17}{8}\cdot \frac{7}{6} \cdot \frac{3}{1} \]
However, it is easier to first simplify before multiplying out the numbers.

Here we have 3 in the top and 6 in the bottom. both can be divided by 3
\[ \frac{17}{8}\cdot \frac{7}{\cancel6 2} \cdot \frac{\cancel 3}{1} \]
that is all the "canceling" we can do. now multiply top * top and bottoms * bottom

Answer 7

none of mine are correct there just the impropper forms

Answer 8

you will get an improper fraction, that you can change to a mixed number

Answer 9

Blue, when multiplying you don't need a common denominator. You could, but it's extra work and it won't give the simplest answer

Answer 10

Answer 11

start at the beginning
