Multiply 4/5times 13/8. Write the answer in simplest form and convert
it to a mixed number. (1 point
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
Therefore, 4/5 times 13/8 becomes (4 * 13) / (5 * 8) = 52/40.
To simplify this fraction, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and then divide both by the GCD.
The GCD of 52 and 40 is 4, so divide both numerator and denominator by 4.
52/40 simplifies to 13/10.
To convert this fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (10).
The quotient (result of division) is the whole number part of the mixed number, and the remainder (what's left after division) becomes the numerator of the fraction part.
13 divided by 10 equals 1 with a remainder of 3.
So the mixed number representation of 13/10 is 1 and 3/10.
