4 1/3 × 4 =
17 1/3
To find the product of 4 1/3 and 4, first, we need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
To convert 4 1/3 into an improper fraction:
Multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator of the fraction (3): 4 x 3 = 12
Add the result to the numerator of the fraction (1): 12 + 1 = 13
Write the sum over the original denominator: 13/3
Now that we have converted 4 1/3 into 13/3, we can multiply it with 4.
13/3 x 4 = (13 x 4)/(3 x 1) = 52/3
So, the product of 4 1/3 and 4 is 52/3.
To multiply these two numbers, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
The mixed number 4 1/3 can be converted into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number (4) by the denominator (3) and adding the numerator (1). This gives us:
4 x 3 + 1 = 13
So, 4 1/3 can be written as the improper fraction 13/3.
Step 2: Multiply the fractions.
To multiply the fractions, simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
In this case, we have the fraction 13/3 multiplied by the whole number 4.
So, the multiplication will be:
13/3 x 4/1 = (13 x 4) / (3 x 1) = 52/3
Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if necessary).
The resulting fraction, 52/3, cannot be simplified any further, as 52 is not divisible evenly by 3.
Therefore, the answer to the multiplication problem 4 1/3 x 4 is 52/3.
