Question

Can someone please help

Answer 1

The product is
`12(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Start with:

`(3)(4(1)/(5) )`

`4(1)/(5)` is the same as
`4+(1)/(5)` .

Let's rewrite:

`(3)(4+(1)/(5))`

Distribute
`3` in to
`4`:

`(3)(4)=12`

And
`3` distributed in to
`(1)/(5)` is the same as
`(3)/(1)` ×
`(1)/(5)`

Multiply.

`(3)/(1)` ×
`(1)/(5) =(3)/(5)`

Now let's add our new whole number and fraction.

`12+(3)/(5)`

And we've already established that the expression above is how we can rewrite a mixed number, so let's make it a mixed number by adding.

`12(3)/(5)`
