What is the value of (2_1/2)(2_1/2)

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 * 2 1/2  

convert to improper fractions  

([tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]) * ([tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex])

add the fractions up

[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

multiply the tops and the bottoms.. the numerator (tops)  , and the denominator (bottoms)

[tex]\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

this is still an improper fraction ( numerator larger than denominator)

divide 4 into 25... it can go 6 times.... to make 24 so subtract 24 from 25

6 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]   (that's your answer)
