what is 7 times 2 3/7

anonymous · Answer

7 6/7
14 3/7
14 6/7 
17

ddcamp · Answer

Remember that
$$2\frac{ 3 }{ 7 } = 2+\frac{ 3 }{ 7 }$$
Another way of writing 2 is 14/7 (because 14 divided by 7 = 2), so we have
$$2+\frac{ 3 }{ 7 } = \frac{ 14 }{ 7 } + \frac{ 3 }{ 7 }= \frac{ 17 }{ 7 }$$
So, what is 7 times 17/7?

anonymous · Answer

would i just multiply straight across???

ddcamp · Answer

You could. But remember, fractions are division So what this is saying is we're multiplying 17 by 7, then dividing by 7. What happens if you multiply then divide by the same number?
