let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then multiply.
[tex]\stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\implies \cfrac{15}{8}\implies 1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Hey there!
3/4 * 2 1/2
= 3/4 * 5/2
= 3(5) / 4(2)
= 15/8
≈ 1 7/8
Therefore, your answer is:
15/8 or 1 7/8
EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO EACH OTHER!
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
