Question

Select the correct answer.
What is the product of

Answer 1

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to write both of this as improper fractions.

That is the mixed fraction $a\frac{b}{c}$ can be written as the improper equivalent fraction of $\frac{ca+b}{c}$ assuming $a$ is positive.

So we are going to write $-3\frac{1}{3}$ as $-\frac{3(3)+1}{3}$.

Simplifying that gives us $-\frac{10}{3}$.

Now for $-8\frac{7}{10}=-\frac{10(8)+7}{10}=-\fraC{87}{10}$.

Now we are ready to find the product which just means multiply:

$\frac{-10}{3} \cdot \frac{-87}{10}$

To multiply fractions you just multiply straight across on top and straight across on bottom unless you see a common factor on and bottom to cancel (and I do; I see 10)

$\frac{-1}{3} \cdot \frac{-87}{1}$

$\frac{87}{3}$

Negative times negative is positive.

Anyways time to write 87/3 as a mixed fraction.

How many 3's are in 87?  29  with no remainder
