Let's begin by combining the simple fractions into a single multiplication exercise:
Let's now proceed to solve the exercise in the numerator and denominator:
Finally we'll simplify the simple fraction in order to obtain the following:
\( 94+12+6= \)
You can't multiply mixed numbers directly! Convert to first: multiply whole number by denominator (2×4=8), add numerator (8+1=9), keep same denominator.
Yes! Multiplication is commutative, so you can multiply in any order. Many students find it easier to multiply the simple fractions first: .
You can do either! Simplifying during multiplication (like canceling 3s) makes numbers smaller and easier to work with. But simplifying at the end works too.
Divide numerator by denominator: remainder , so the answer is .
Don't forget the variable! Since you started with x in the problem, your final answer must include x too. The coefficient goes in front: .
