6th grade math help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 1/4 * 4/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 1/20 im not positive this is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im a girl but ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht I do not get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she didn't say if she wanted the explanation or not @Shaaan14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you don't give the answer either way ;/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to work through it together

OpenStudy (mathmale):

6 1/4 * 4/5 would be easier to read (and perhaps easier to understand) if expressed as follows:\[(6\frac{ 1 }{ 4 })(\frac{ 4 }{ 5 })\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Can you think of what to do next? Note that this is a MULTIPLICATION problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oo I see it c;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm... you have to multiply 6 times 4 plus 1

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Exactly. In other words, you need to convert 6 1/4 into an improper fraction. Yes. Go for it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 25/4

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Right! and what would be your next step towards solving the original problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To multiply

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes. Would you do that, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did he go???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aww Idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im getting him back for ya :)

OpenStudy (mathmale):

:) Sorry. Think:\[\frac{ 25 }{ 4 }*\frac{ 4 }{ 5}\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

... can easily be reduced. Reduce it, please. (You could multiply, but that would not help.)
