432×151
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
- Step 1: Convert 432 and 151 to improper fractions.
- Step 2: Multiply these improper fractions.
- Step 3: Simplify the result, if necessary, and convert it back to a mixed number.
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
For 432:
Multiply the whole number 4 by the denominator 3 and add the numerator 2:
4×3+2=12+2=14.
Thus, 432=314.
For 151:
Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5 and add the numerator 1:
1×5+1=5+1=6.
Thus, 151=56.
Step 2: Multiply the improper fractions 314 and 56:
314×56=3×514×6=1584.
Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction 1584 and convert it to a mixed number if necessary:
Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 84 and 15, which is 3.
Divide both numerator and denominator by their GCD:
15÷384÷3=528.
Convert the improper fraction 528 to a mixed number:
Divide 28 by 5: Quotient is 5, remainder is 3.
Thus, 528=553.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 553.
