Question

ok I have got my answer for this problem but I don't know what I need to do after
@jtvatsim
5&2/3 x 8&1/4= 187/4 <--- what do I do after this do I divide or leave it like that ??? @satellite73 and @timaashorty

Answer 1

if you start with a mixed number, you probably want to turn it back in to a mixed number

Answer 2

so divide right!

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

ok stay so I can check my answer with u

Answer 5

i think your answer is not right r you could have said
\[5+8=13\] and
\[\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{11}{12}\]

Answer 6

the common denominator for \(3\) and \(4\) is \(12\) not \(4\) so there is a mistake somewhere

Answer 7

well my teacher makes us like turn fractions into this
17/1 x 11/4=187/4

Answer 8

answer should be
\[13\tfrac{11}{12}\]

Answer 9

as an improper fraction it's right...

Answer 10

ooohh my fault, it is times, not plus
sorry

Answer 11

np

Answer 12

you are right, my mistake

Answer 13

so I leave my answer like it is ? or no

Answer 14

now you can turn it back to a mixed number, which is probably what your teacher wants

Answer 15

how ??

Answer 16

like you said before by dividing

Answer 17

like you said, divide

Answer 18

\[187 \div 4 = ?\]

Answer 19

igot 46.75

Answer 20

you change the decimal into a fraction

Answer 21

leave the remainder as a fraction
you get 46 and a remainder of 3, so \(46\tfrac{3}{4}\)
