Question

2 4/5 x 1/3 =
1 1/4 x 1/5 =

Answer 1

`(14)/(15)`

`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given the following equations:


`2(4)/(5) *(1)/(3)`

`1(1)/(4) *(1)/(5)`

In order to solve the following equations, we convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions and then solve by multiplying the numerators and the denominators by each other.


`2(4)/(5) *(1)/(3)`

`2(4)/(5) =5*2=10+4=(14)/(5)`

`(14)/(5) *(1)/(3)`

`14*1=14`

`5*3=15`

`=(14)/(15)`


`1(1)/(4) *(1)/(5)`

`1(1)/(4) =1*4=4+1=(5)/(4)`

`(5)/(4) *(1)/(5)`

`5*1=5`

`4*5=20`

`(5)/(20) /5=(1)/(4)`

`=(1)/(4)`

Hope this helps.
