what is 2 and 1/4 times 1 and 1/3
2 1/4 x 1 1/3 =
Simplify the following:
(2+1/4) (1+1/3)
Put 1+1/3 over the common denominator 3. 1+1/3 = 3/3+1/3:
(2+1/4) 3/3+1/3
3/3+1/3 = (3+1)/3:
(2+1/4) (3+1)/3
3+1 = 4:
(2+1/4)×4/3
Put 2+1/4 over the common denominator 4. 2+1/4 = (4×2)/4+1/4:
4/3 (4×2)/4+1/4
4×2 = 8:
((8/4+1/4)×4)/(3)
8/4+1/4 = (8+1)/4:
4/3 (8+1)/4
8+1 = 9:
9/4×4/3
9/4×4/3 = (9×4)/(4×3):
(9×4)/(4×3)
(9×4)/(4×3) = 4/4×9/3 = 9/3:
9/3
The gcd of 9 and 3 is 3, so 9/3 = (3×3)/(3×1) = 3/3×3 = 3:
Answer: |=3
