Question

How do you mulitply `2 1/3 xx 5 2/4`?

Answer 1

Changing mixed fraction to a simple fraction;

2 `( 1/3)` can be written as 2 + `(1/3)`

and similarly 5 `(2/4)` can be rotten as 5 + `(2/4)`

multiplying these two

{2 + `(1/3)` } { 5 + `(2/4)`}

2 x 5 + 2 x `(2/4)` +`( 1/3 )` x 5 +`( 1/3 )` x `(2/4)`

10 + `(4/4)`+ `(5/3)` + `(2/12)`

10 + 1 + `(5/3 + 2/12)`

11 + `( 5/3 + 2/12)`

solving parentheses using LCM

11 +`( 5.4 + 2) / 12`

11 + `(22/12)`

`(12.11 + 22)/ 12`

`(132 + 22 )/12`

154 /12 = 12 +`( 10/12)` = 12 `5/6`
