Question

Can the product of two mixed numbers ever be a whole number?

Answer 1

Yes, for example `1 13/25xx6 11/19=10`

Explanation:

Yes it is possible, if in the product, product of the denominators is a factor of product of numerators.

In other words, when denominators cancel out with a portion of numerator.

For example let us consid=er `1 13/25` and `6 11/19`

As `1 13/25=38/25` and `6 11/19=125/19`

`1 13/25xx6 11/19=38/25xx125/19`

= `(cancel38^2)/(cancel25^1)xx(cancel125^5)/(cancel19^1)`

= `(2xx5)/(1xx1)=10/1=10`
