Given the mixed number equation:
4 3/4*3 2/5
Solution:
To easily solve the equation, we need to change the mixed number into whole number. This can be done by dividing first their fraction part, and add the quotient to the whole number.
4 ¾
= ¾ = 0.75
= 4 + 0.75
= 4.75
3 2/5
= 2/5 = 0.4
= 3 + 0.4
= 3.4
Now that we have the values, we can simply multiply the numbers.
= (4.75)(3.4)
=16.15
Final answer:
16.15
