Exercise #1

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.
