Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To multiply 3/5 by 4, we can set it up as a multiplication problem:

3/5 * 4

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(3 * 4) / (5)

Simplifying the numerator:

12 / 5

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

12 ÷ 5 = 2 remainder 2

The quotient becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part:

2 2/5

Therefore, the answer is 2 2/5.

To multiply 3/5 by 4, you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the whole numbers: 3 * 4 = 12.
2. Multiply the numerators: 3 * 4 = 12.
3. Multiply the denominators: 5 * 1 = 5.

So, the product of 3/5 and 4 is 12/5.

To convert the answer to a mixed number, you can use the division method:

1. Divide the numerator (12) by the denominator (5): 12 ÷ 5 = 2 with a remainder of 2.
2. The whole number part of the mixed number is the quotient, which is 2.
3. The fractional part of the mixed number is the remainder over the original denominator, which is 2/5.

Putting it all together, the final answer is 2 2/5 as a mixed number.
