4 1/7 * 3 3/5

Hey Whale c: Buhaha, that picture is silly

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm 4\frac{1}{7}\cdot 3\frac{3}{5}\]Multiplying mixed numbers can be kind of tricky...

29/1 * 18/5

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm \frac{29}{7}\cdot\frac{18}{5}\]So you converted them to improper fractions? :) Ah good good!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Then simply multiply top with top, bottom with bottom.\[\Large\rm \frac{29}{7}\cdot\frac{18}{5}=\frac{29\cdot18}{7\cdot5}\]

522/35

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yay good job \c:/

What do I do now?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh you would like it to be a mixed number again? I see. So how many 35's can you get out of the numerator?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\Large\rm 522\div35=14.9\) So it looks like we have 14 whole groups of 35 in the 522. We'll subtract those 14 groups of 35 from the 522 and see what it leaves us for the fractional part.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm \frac{522}{35}=14\frac{?}{35}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm 14\cdot35=490\]So how much does that leave you with for your fractional part?\[\Large\rm 522-490=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large\rm \frac{522}{35}=14\frac{32}{35}\]Yayyy good job \c:/
