Answer 2

no its 7 3/8 times 24

Answer 3

\[7^{3/8}\times24\]

Answer 4

Answer 5

I think she's referring to a fraction?

\[7 \frac{ 3 }{ 8 } = \frac{ (7 \times 8) + 3 }{ 8 }\] the denominator stays the same.

\[\frac{ (7 \times 8) + 3 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 59 }{ 8 }\]

So now you basically have \(\frac{59}{8}\) x \(\frac{24}{1}\)

Remember that: \(\frac{a}{b} •\frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}\)
