Question

Work out 6 1/4 x 14/15
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form

Answer 1

let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then get their product.

`\stackrel{mixed}{6(1)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{25}{4}\cdot \cfrac{14}{15}\implies \cfrac{25}{15}\cdot \cfrac{14}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{3}\cdot \cfrac{7}{2}\implies \cfrac{35}{6}\implies 5(5)/(6)`
