Exercise #5

Solve:

7×38= 7\times\frac{3}{8}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will start by multiplying the whole number 7 by the fraction 38 \frac{3}{8} using the rule for multiplying a whole number by a fraction.

Calculate the product:

  • 7×38=7×38 7 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{7 \times 3}{8}
  • =218 = \frac{21}{8}

The fraction 218 \frac{21}{8} is an improper fraction, meaning the numerator is greater than the denominator. To convert it to a mixed number, we divide 21 by 8:

4×134= 4\times1\frac{3}{4}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this mathematical problem, let's follow the outlined approach:

  • Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
  • Step 2: Multiply the improper fraction by the whole number.
  • Step 3: Simplify the result, if needed.

Let's begin with Step 1 by converting the mixed number 1341\frac{3}{4} to an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (4) of the fraction, and then add the numerator (3):

1×4+3=4+3=71 \times 4 + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

This gives us the improper fraction 74\frac{7}{4}.

Next, proceed to Step 2: Multiply the whole number, 4, by the improper fraction we found:

4×74=4×74=2844 \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{4 \times 7}{4} = \frac{28}{4}

For Step 3, simplify 284\frac{28}{4}:

284=7\frac{28}{4} = 7

Thus, the product of the whole number 4 and the mixed number 1341\frac{3}{4} is 77.

  • Step 2: Perform the multiplication with the whole number 2.
  • Step 3: Simplify and, if required, convert the result back to a mixed number.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Convert 2132 \frac{1}{3} to an Improper Fraction

The mixed number 2132 \frac{1}{3} can be converted to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number 2 by the denominator 3 and adding the numerator 1. Thus, 213=2×3+13=6+13=732 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{6 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}.

Step 2: Multiply by 2

Next, multiply the improper fraction 73\frac{7}{3} by the whole number 2. Treat 2 as 21\frac{2}{1} for multiplication: 73×21=7×23×1=143\frac{7}{3} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{7 \times 2}{3 \times 1} = \frac{14}{3}.

Step 3: Simplify or Convert the Improper Fraction

Finally, convert the improper fraction 143\frac{14}{3} back to a mixed number, if desired:

  • Divide the numerator by the denominator: 14÷3=414 \div 3 = 4 with a remainder of 2.
  • This results in the mixed number 4234\frac{2}{3}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 4234\frac{2}{3}.
