Question

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

Answer 1

`\stackrel{mixed}{1(1)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{3(1)/(2)} \implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2} \implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{7}{2}\implies \cfrac{21}{4}\implies 5(1)/(4)`
