Question

Write in simplest form 3 1/5 × 3 1/6 is what

Answer 1

`10(2)/(15)`

Explanation:

We want to write
`3(1)/(5)*3(1)/(6)` in simplest form

We convert the mixed numbers to improper fraction.

`(16)/(5)*(19)/(6)`

We look for common factors to cancel out

`(8*2)/(5)*(19)/(2*3)`

`(8)/(5)*(19)/(3)`

We multiple the numerators and the denominators to get:

`(8*19)/(5*3)`

This simplifies to:

`(152)/(15)=10(2)/(15)`
