Question

How do you evaluate `87,000\times \frac { 17} { 20}`?

Answer 1

The final evaluated answer will be 73,950.

Explanation:

First, you would make 87,000 into `87000/1`. Then you would have `87000/1xx17/20`.

Then, you would multiply the numerators, `87,000xx17`, and that equals `1,479,000`. Also, the denominators, `1xx20`, equaling `20`.

You would have the new fraction `1479000/20`.

Finally, you would simplify that by dividing `1,479,000` and `20`, that would give you the final answer of `73,950`.
