Question

8 3/4 x 5 1/7 ?

Answer 1

`45`

Explanation:

Start by converting your mixed numbers into improper fractions. To do this, lets look at `8 3/4`.

To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction, you multiply the denominator (4) by the number out in front (8) , then add the numerator (3), then put that number over the original denominator (4) So to write that out, you take `4*8+3` , which equals `35`, so `8 3/4 = 35/4`.
Repeat this with `5 1/7` to get `36/7`.
Now, we are able to easily multiply across:
`35/4 * 36/7 = 1260/28 = 45`
