Simplify 4.3 1/2 x 2 1/2

Sagot :

[tex]3\frac{1}{2}\times2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Start by making the mixed numbers as fractions

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3\cdot2+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2} \\ 2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2\cdot2+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

then, find the product between them

[tex]\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{5}{2}=\frac{35}{4}[/tex]

write the fraction as a mixed number

[tex]\frac{35}{4}=8\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
