Full solution

Q. Probuct of atertion and a wi\newlineMultiply. Write your answer as\newline58×3 \frac{5}{8} \times 3
  1. Identify Numbers: Identify the numbers to be multiplied.\newlineWe have the fraction (58)(\frac{5}{8}) and the whole number 33 that we need to multiply together.
  2. Convert to Fraction: Convert the whole number to a fraction.\newlineTo multiply a whole number by a fraction, it's helpful to write the whole number as a fraction. The whole number 33 can be written as 31\frac{3}{1}.
  3. Multiply Numerators: Multiply the numerators.\newlineMultiply the numerators of the two fractions. In this case, multiply 55 (the numerator of the first fraction) by 33 (the numerator of the second fraction).\newline5×3=155 \times 3 = 15
  4. Multiply Denominators: Multiply the denominators.\newlineMultiply the denominators of the two fractions. In this case, multiply 88 (the denominator of the first fraction) by 11 (the denominator of the second fraction).\newline8×1=88 \times 1 = 8
  5. Write as Fraction: Write the result as a fraction.\newlineCombine the results of the multiplication of the numerators and denominators to form a new fraction.\newline158\frac{15}{8}
  6. Simplify if Necessary: Simplify the fraction if necessary.\newlineIn this case, the fraction 158\frac{15}{8} cannot be simplified further because 1515 and 88 have no common factors other than 11.
