Question

Jo said 565 times 34 one half is 595111 eight fourths is she correct. If not what is the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Incorrect, 19492.5

Explanation:

Given

Jo said 565 times 34 one half i.e.
`565* 34\ (1)/(2)` is
`595111`

Solving for a mixed fraction

`\Rightarrow 565* (34* 2+1)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow 565* (69)/(2)=(38985)/(2)=19492.5`

Clearly,
`19492.5\\eq 595111`

Thus, Jo is wrong
