Question

Find 1 1/2 times 3 1/2 write the product as a mixed number

Answer 1

21/4

Explanation:

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

Convert the fraction to improper fraction where

`a (b)/(c) = ((c * a) + b)/(c)`

So,

`1 (1)/(2) * 3 (1)/(2) = ((2 * 1) + 1)/(2) * ((2 * 3) + 1)/(2)`

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

`= (21)/(4)`
