The first mixed number becomes: .
The second mixed number becomes: .
Step 2: Divide by multiplying by the reciprocal.
.
Step 3: Perform the multiplication and simplify.
The multiplication of fractions gives: .
Step 4: Convert to a mixed number, if necessary.
gives a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 224: .
Thus, the mixed number is .
The solution to the problem is , which corresponds to choice 4.
\( 1\frac{4}{5}\times1\frac{1}{3}= \)
Mixed numbers like can't be divided directly. Converting to improper fractions like lets you use the standard division rule: multiply by the reciprocal.
Check your work! For : multiply whole number by denominator (10 × 7 = 70), add numerator (70 + 3 = 73), keep same denominator. Result:
Simply flip the fraction! The reciprocal of is . Then change division to multiplication.
Divide the numerator by denominator: remainder . The quotient becomes the whole number, remainder becomes new numerator:
Always check if you can simplify! Look for common factors between numerator and denominator. In this case, doesn't simplify further, so we're done.
While calculators help with arithmetic, showing your work step-by-step is important! Convert to improper fractions, multiply by reciprocal, then convert back to demonstrate your understanding.
