Given the numerical equation:

5.4 x 2 3/4 

Solution:

Since we have a mixed number, we must convert it first into an improper fraction. In order to do so, we need to multiply the whole number by the denominator then add the product to the numerator, thus we will retain the numerator.

2 ¾ = 11 / 4

11 /4 = 2.75

Now we can multiply the two decimals.

=(5.4)(2.75)

= 14.85

Final answer:
14.85
