Question

Find the value of 2 3/4 of 5 5/7. 

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with 1000 and take it one step at a time.

9/10 of 1000 is 900.

8/9 of 900 is 800.

7/8 of 800 is 700.

6/7 of 700 is 600.

5/6 of 600 is 500.

4/5 of 500 is 400.

3/4 of 400 is 300.

2/3 of 300 is 200.

1/2 of 200 is 100.

Alternatively, you can write it as 12×23×34×45×56×67×78×89×910×1000 and cancel all of the like numerators and denominators to get 110×1000 which is 10
