Question

2 1/4 x2 1/4 in mixed number

Answer 1

`5 (1)/(16)` is the answer.

Explanation:

Given:

`2 (1)/(4) * 2 (1)/(4)`

Step 1: Converting the mixed fraction into fraction:

Multiply 4 by 2 add 1 to the result.

`2(1)/(4)` =
`(4 * 2+1)/(4)`

=
`(8+1)/(4)`

=
`(9)/(4)`

Step 2: Performing the multiplication using the fraction

= >
`(9)/(4) * (9)/(4)`

=>
`(81)/(16)`

Step 3: Converting the product back to mixed fraction

divide 81 by 16 and find the remainder

=>
`quotient (remainder)/(divisor)`

Dividing 81 by 16 we get 5 as quotient and 1 as remainder

Thus the result in mixed fraction will be

=>
`5 (1)/(16)`
