2 3/5 X 10=

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

This?\[\large{2\frac{3}{5}\times10}\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Ok, going along those lines then. You have: \[\color{blue}{\Large{2\frac{3}{5}\times10}}\] 10 is also \(\Large\frac{50}{5}\) because \(10\times5=50\) So now you will get: \[\color{blue}{\Large{2\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{50}{5}}}\] \(\Large{2\frac{3}{5}}\) equals \(\Large{2\times\frac{5}{5}=2\times1}\) So now you have: \(\Large{2\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{2\times5}{5}=\frac{10}{5}}\) And now we have \[\color{blue}{\Large{\left(\frac{10}{5}\right)\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{50}{5}}}\]

I created a step-by-step solution for you at Calorful: https://www.calorful.com/algebra/?q=23%2F5X10%3D This is a step by step calculator for algebra questions.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

@agent0smith check if I did everything right? xD

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@kittiwitti1 You first have to convert \(\large 2 \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\) to \(\large \frac{ 13 }{ 5 }\) then just multiply (you can leave the 10 alone or write it as \(\large \frac{ 10 }{ 1 }\) ) You can then change the order, to make it easier, since you're multiplying\[\large \frac{13}{5}\times \frac{ 10 }{ 1 } = \frac{13}{1}\times \frac{ 10 }{ 5 } = \]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

I think that's pretty much the same as what I did o_o Well, except I should've added instead of multiplying, oops x_x

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yeah you multiplied instead of adding. But you don't need to write 10 as 50/5, that makes it more difficult. You only need common denoms for adding fractions, not multiplying.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Yeah, I got it. There was just never any response to tell me where the question asker is in terms of the subject knowledge so I tried to connect everything together. But thank you ☺ @agent0smith

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

So, a rendition then:\[\huge{\text{Please read this one, not the previous.}}\] \(\text{Originally Posted by}\) @kittiwitti1 Ok, going along those lines then.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That doesn't look right... the 10/5 and 3/5 are added together, before multiplying by 10

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You could do \[\color{blue}{\Large{\left(\frac{10}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\right)\times\frac{50}{5}}}\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Er, yeah. I meant that e_e MY BAD

OpenStudy (geegee04):

The end result would equal 26 right? @kittiwitti1 @agent0smith

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (geegee04):

Thank you @phi

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Oops, sorry. I seem to have lagged out on this end. But yes, it is the answer.
