What is 2 1/2 *1 1/2 (the same as 2.5 * 1.5)
A. 2 1/4 (same as 2.25)
B. 2
C. 3 3/4 (same as 3.75)
D. 4
1. Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
- 2 and 1/2 = (2 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 5/2
- 1 and 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
2. Multiply the two improper fractions together:
(5/2) * (3/2) = 15/4
3. Simplify the result, if possible:
15/4 is already simplified.
So the answer is 15/4.
Now, let's look at the given options:
A. 2 and 1/4 = 9/4
B. 2 = 8/4
C. 3 and 3/4 = 15/4
D. 4 = 16/4
Comparing the options to the calculated answer, we can see that the correct option is C. 3 and 3/4.
