Question

Evaluate : 55 1/3 x 25 1/3​

Answer 1

Answer 1401  7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. make each fraction a improper fraction. in the first given 55 1/3, multiply the denominator (3) to the whole number (55) and then add the numerator (1). the answer would be 166, then put the denominator 3, which happen to be 166/3.

2. same goes with the second given

25*3+1= 76, then make it an improper fraction which is 76/3

3. you can now proceed with the operation, wherein the rule in multiplying fraction is simply multiply the numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator

166/3 * 76/3

= 166 * 76 =  12616 (numerators)

= 3 * 3 = 9 (denominators)

=  12616/9 (then make it mixed fraction, by simply dividing the numerator by the denominator)

= 12616/9 = 1401.78 ( the quotient is the whole number)

= 12616 - (1401 * 9) = 7 (which happen to be the remainder, will be the numerator)

= so the final answer is 1401  7/9 since this is already in the simplest form
