Calculate the following:
1. [tex]9 \frac{1}{3} \times 4 \times 6 \frac{1}{2} = ?[/tex]
2. [tex]5 \frac{3}{4} \times 8 \times 2 \frac{1}{2} = ?[/tex]
Answer (2)
9 3 1 ∗ 4 ∗ 6 2 1 = = 3 28 ∗ 4 ∗ 2 13 = = 3 ∗ 2 28 ∗ 4 ∗ 13 = = 3 28 ∗ 13 ∗ 2 = = 3 728 5 4 3 ∗ 8 ∗ 2 2 1 = 4 23 ∗ 8 ∗ 2 5 = 4 ∗ 2 23 ∗ 8 ∗ 5 = 23 ∗ 5 = 115 [EDIT: Replaced x by * since x doesn't look well in typefaced math]
To solve the multiplications, we converted mixed numbers to improper fractions and multiplied them together. The first multiplication results in 242 \frac{2}{3}, while the second one equals 115. This method helps in organizing and simplifying the calculations.
