simplify (4 3/4) ) (4 3/4) it is set up in fraction form.

Question

I think it is (19/4) (19/4) = 22 9/16 but I am not sure if I worked it correctly.

Answer 1

you are correct. great job.

 

You could also leave your answer as 361/16 which is an improper fraction.

22 9/16 is a mixed fraction

Answer 2

Casey,

 

You have the right idea, but you made an error in you computation:

 

(19/4)(19/4) = (19)²/(4)² = (361)/(16)

 

I'll let you take it from here, hope this helps.

 

Oops, my mistake I see you went ahead and divided this last step out, I misread it as (229)/16,

 

So you're good with your answer!!!
