Question

Find the product. Then write in simplest form show work...can help me

Answer 1

First convert the two mixed numbers to improper fractions:

2 3/5 is equivalent to 13/5. The mixed number 9 1/2 is equivalent to 19/2.

Now multiply the two fractions (multiply the numerators and then the denominators):

13 * 19 = 247

5 2 10

Now simplify the improper fraction to create a final mixed number for the product:

247 = 24 7

10 10
