Question

Find the product of 6/17 and 2 2/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

In multiplication of fractions to multiply a fraction by one or more natural numbers or fractions, proceed as follows:

(i) Convert the natural numbers (if any) to improper fractions.

(ii) Convert the mixed numbers (if any) to improper fractions.

(iii) Multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator and cancel the common factors of the numerator and denominator and place the product of the numerator over the denominator.

(iv) Convert into mixed fraction if needed.

Product of two fractions = Product of their numerators

Product of their denominators

[Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators]

i.e., a/b × c/d = (a × c)/(b × d)
