Question

How do you multiply mixed numbers?

Answer 1

When multiplying mixed numbers they have to be either converted to improper fractions or to their decimal equivalent.

`2 1/2*3 3/4=5/2*15/4=75/8=9 3/8`

or

`2 1/2*3 3/4=2.5*3.75=9.375=9 375/1000=9 3/8`

DO NOT
-just multiply the whole number part
-just multiply the fractional parts
