Question

What is 3 1/2 multiplied by 2 1/4 as a mixed number or fraction

Answer 1

7 7/8

Explanation:

First, turn 3 1/2 and 2 1/4 into improper fractions.

3 1/2= 7/2

and

2 1/4=9/4

Then, set the multiplication equation like this: 7/2 * 9/4. (Srry I can't explain it well on a computer)

After that, multiply out and you will get, 63/8. Then, turn it into a mixed number: 7 7/8. Then, try to reduce it and see that it can't be reduced. Therefore, 7 7/8 is your answer.

Answer 2

Hey there!

`3(1)/(2)` ×
`2(1)/(4)`

`3(1)/(2)` =
`(7)/(2)`

`2(1)/(4)` =
`(9)/(4)`

`(7)/(2)`×
`(9)/(4)`

`7*9 = 63`

`2*4 = 8`

`\boxed{Answer: (63)/(8) ; 7(7)/(8)  }`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
