Full solution

Q. (c) 312×214 3 \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \frac{1}{4}
  1. Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions. \newline3123\frac{1}{2} can be converted to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number 33 by the denominator 22 and adding the numerator 11, which gives us 3×2+1=73\times 2 + 1 = 7, so 3123\frac{1}{2} becomes 72\frac{7}{2}.\newline2142\frac{1}{4} can be converted to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number 22 by the denominator 44 and adding the numerator 11, which gives us 3311, so 2142\frac{1}{4} becomes 3333.
  2. Multiply Fractions: Multiply the improper fractions.\newlineNow we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.\newline(72)×(94)=(7×92×4)=638(\frac{7}{2}) \times (\frac{9}{4}) = (\frac{7\times9}{2\times4}) = \frac{63}{8}
  3. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible. 63/863/8 is already in its simplest form because 6363 and 88 have no common factors other than 11.
