Question

How do you multiply 1/3 and 2 and 3/4 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}\times2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{12}$

Explanation: We need to multiply the two given numbers, they are:

$\begin{gathered} (1)\rightarrow\frac{1}{3} \\ (2)\rightarrow2\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}$

Multiplication:

$(1)\times(2)=\frac{1}{3}\times2\frac{3}{4}$

Before we proceed we will get the (2) in Improper fraction, form this is done as follows:

$(2)=2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{4\cdot2+3}{4}=\frac{8+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

Therefore we can multiply the two in the following way:

$(1)\times(2)\rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{11}{4}=\frac{11}{12}$
