Multiply 4/9 times 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number and keep the denominator the same.
In this case, we have 4/9 times 7.
To multiply, we multiply the numerator (4) by the whole number (7), which gives us 4 * 7 = 28.
The denominator remains the same, so the answer is 28/9.
To write this as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (28) by the denominator (9).
Dividing 28 by 9 gives us a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 1.
So the mixed number is 3 1/9.
To multiply 4/9 by 7, we can first convert 7 to a fraction with a denominator of 9:
7 = 7/1
Now, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(4/9) * (7/1) = (4 * 7) / (9 * 1) = 28/9
Since 9 does not evenly divide into 28, the result is an improper fraction. We can convert it to a mixed number by dividing the numerator (28) by the denominator (9):
28 ÷ 9 = 3 with a remainder of 1
So, the answer is, when written as a mixed number, 3 1/9.
To multiply 4/9 by 7, follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators (top numbers): 4 x 7 = 28.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers): 9 x 1 = 9.
Step 3: Write the answer as a fraction: 28/9.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible: 28/9 cannot be simplified further.
Step 5: Write the fraction as a mixed number: 28 divided by 9 equals 3 with a remainder of 1. So, the mixed number is 3 1/9.
Therefore, 4/9 times 7 is equal to 3 1/9 as a mixed number.
