A. 5 5/8
B. 8
C. 1/10
D. 10

Answer 1

D.10

Explanation:

first you convert the mixed fraction into a improper fraction

7×2+1=15 =15/2

then you switch the places of the 2nd fraction and multiply the fractions

15/2×4/3=60/6

since 60/6 is a improper we convert it into a mixed fraction

6÷60=10 r0
