4 and 4/354and435 or 144/3514435 depending on what you want to leave your answer as...

(improper fraction or mixed fraction)

Explanation:

assuming you mean mixed fractions or 22 and 4/747 and 11 and 3/535

Change these into an improper fraction (numerator bigger than denominator):

2 and 4/72and47=14/7+4/7=18/7147+47=187

1 and 3/51and35=5/5+3/5=8/555+35=85

Then multiply the results from this:

18/7 xx 8/5187×85

Multiplying numerators:

18 xx 8=14418×8=144

Multiplying numerators:

5 xx 7=355×7=35

Then put the first result over the second, again giving a improper fraction:

144/3514435

This is the fully simplified improper fraction. You can leave it at this, or you could turn it back into a mixed fraction:

35 xx 4=14035×4=140

therefore the mixed number is 4

Minus the original number by the number given:

144-140=4 This is the numerator

Also, the denominator stays the same. Giving:

4 and 4/35 or as I said you could leave it as an improper fraction as 144/35
