Question

How do you evaluate `1\frac{14}{15}\times 4\frac{3}{7`?

Answer 1

`8frac(59)(105)`

Explanation:

First make the mixed numbers improper by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and adding the numerator.

`1frac(14)(15)=29/15` and `4frac(3)(7)=31/7`

multiply the numerators and then the denominators

`29*31=899` numerator and `15*7=105` denominator

so the answer is `899/105=8frac(59)(105)`
