Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{21}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{1 \frac{1}{2} \times 14}$

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction

⇒$\sf{ \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} \times 14}$

⇒$\sf{ \frac{2 + 1}{2} \times 14}$

⇒$\sf{ \frac{3}{2} \times 14}$

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term

⇒$\sf{ \frac{3 \times 14}{2 \times 1} }$

⇒$\sf{ \frac{42}{2} }$

Divide 42 by 2

⇒$\sf{21}$
