{male) Hey there, we're multiplying fractions and mixed numbers.
So we have two and one fifth times three and one half.
So the easiest thing to do here would be to turn these mixed numbers into improper fractions.
So let's turn two & one fifth into an improper fraction. So,
Five times two is ten plus one is eleven. So that's eleven fifths.
And then three and one half as an improper fraction is two times three, which is six plus one is seven.
Over the denominator two.
Now I can easily multiply.
And the way you multiply fractions is you multiply the numerator times the numerator
and the denominator times the denominator. So,
Eleven times seven is seventy-seven, over five times two which is ten.
Seventy-seven tenths, let's put it in simplest terms. Let's take seventy-seven
and divide it by ten and we get seven... seventy... seven remainder.
So, we have seven and seven tenths as our final answer. That's it. Thank you.
