Answer 2

Answer:

$32\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be extremely easy to solve this problem after you convert the Mixed Fraction into an improper fraction and then set the fractions to a common denominator.

Therefore,

$5\frac{1}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$

$6\frac{3}{7} =\frac{45}{7}$

$\frac{10}{2}$ can also be written as 5.  (5 x 2 = 10)

$\frac{5}{1}$ × $\frac{45}{7}$ = $\frac{225}{7}$

$\frac{225}{7} = 32\frac{1}{7}$

(7 x 3 = 21, 1 is left over, 5 is brought down, 7 x 2 = 14, 1 is left over (becomes numerator), and the divisor (in this case, 7)  becomes the denominator.)
