364×242=
To solve the problem of multiplying these mixed fractions, we will proceed through the following steps:
- Step 1: Convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.
364 must first be simplified to 332.
To convert 332 to an improper fraction: 3×3+2=11, so we have 311.
For 242, simplify 42 to 21 making the fraction 221.
Convert 221 to an improper fraction: 2×2+1=5, so we have 25.
- Step 2: Multiply the two improper fractions:
The calculation is 311×25=3×211×5=655.
- Step 3: Simplify 655 by converting it back to a mixed number.
Divide 55 by 6 which gives 9 as the quotient and 1 as the remainder. Therefore, 655=961.
Therefore, the result of the multiplication is 961.
