Question

what should be multiplied to 2 4/15
to get 5 2/3
in this question 2 and 5 are in whole​

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiply 2 3/5 by 6

Solution:

2 3/5 × 6

= (2 × 5 + 3)/5 × 6

= (10 + 3)/5 × 6

= 13/5 × 6

= (13 × 6)/5

= 78/5

= 15 3/5

We change the mixed numbers into improper fractions and then simply multiply the numerator of the fractional number by the whole number. The denominator remains the same.
