3 (1)/(3) * 8 (7)/(10)what is the product

Question

`3 (1)/(3) * 8 (7)/(10)`what is the product

Answer 1

`3(1)/(3)\cdot8(7)/(10)`

To compute this product, first you have to convert the mixed numbers into fractions, as follows:

`3(1)/(3)\text{ = }(3\cdot3+1)/(3)=(10)/(3)`
`8(7)/(10)=(8\cdot10+7)/(10)=(87)/(10)`

Replacing into the multiplication:

`(10)/(3)\cdot(87)/(10)=(87)/(3)=29`
