To check the multiplication, we can simplify the fractions first:
1 1/7 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:
1 * 7 + 1 = 8
Therefore, 1 1/7 is equal to 8/7.
1 3/4 can be similarly converted to:
1 * 4 + 3 = 7
Therefore, 1 3/4 is equal to 7/4.
Now, let's multiply the fractions:
8/7 * 7/4 = (8 * 7) / (7 * 4) = 56/28
To check if 56/28 equals 2, we need to simplify the fraction. Both 56 and 28 can be divided by 4:
56/4 = 14
28/4 = 7
So, 56/28 can be simplified as:
14/7 = 2
Therefore, based on the calculations, 56/28 indeed equals 2.
