Question

Multiply and reduce to lowest form and convert into a mixed fraction:

`4 xx 1/3`

Answer 1

Given, `4 xx 1/3`

We know that if a number has no denominator, then its denominator is considered to be 1.

Hence, `4/1 xx 1/3`

Now we know that to multiply two or more fractions, the numerator of one is multiplied by the numerator of the other and the denominator is multiplied by the denominator of the other.

Hence, = `(4 xx 1)/(1 xx 3)`

= `4/3`

= `1 1/3`
