Multiply & write in simplest form:

The mississippi river is about 23/25 the length of the missouri river. If the missouri river is 2,540 miles long, how long is the mississippi river?

Thanks

23/25 * 2540 = 58,420/25 = 2,336.8 miles

Show me step by step the question.

The answer is 2335 4/5 because 2540*23 = 58420 so you divided the quotient by 25 and you will get 2335 20/25 then simply it by 5 and you get 2335 4/5.

2336.8 or 2335 4/5

The real answer is 2336 4/5. The reason of this is when you 23/25 x 2,540= 58,420/25. After you got this answer you would take it and divide it by 25 which would give you 2336.8 which is equal to 2336 8/10. With this anwer you know to take 8/10 and simplify it to 4/5 Your answer should now be 2336 4/5. This is now your final answer.

2,336.8

2336 4/5

Key terms: Whenever a word math problem has "is", its means equal to, "=". When you see the word "of", it means multiply, "* or x".

The Mississipi River is (=) 23/25 of (x or *) Missouri River.

Mississipi River = 23/25 x Missouri River

Since they say Missouri River is (remember "is" means equal) 2,540. Missouri River= 2540

Mississipi River= 23/25 x 2,540

If your teacher wants fractions, then simply turn 2540 into 2540/1. 2540 divided by 1 is still 2540. It's still a fraction and it makes sense too!

Then you do the following steps of PEMDAS

1) Multiply Across since its fractions
Mississipi River= 23/25 x 2,540/1
23* 2540 and 25* 1

Mississipi River= 58,420/25

2) After you multiply, then divide

Mississipi River= 2,336.8

TA-DA!

I got this exact question on my math homework Thanks for helping me out I would not have been able to do it with out this.

2,336.8

I got 2,336 4/5

When is this ever gonna matter at all no guy is gonna randomly ask you if the Missouri River is 2540 miles long and the Mississippi River is 23/25 of that length then what is the length of the Mississippi River and technically the correct answer is 2,320 miles but what I don’t care anymore

2336.8

Its 2336 4/5 CAUSE i double checked and this is right

2336.8 is the ansere i hope it helps

58,420/25

I dont care about this math I HATE MATH SOOOOOOO MUCH

15÷2540

Thanks for the help! For some reason this question was in my math book... Thanks for the answer ;) (hehehehe)

Well, I like potatoes

This is where high math gets me. Looking pointless thing up online when I could be looking at cat memes.

uh the answer is obviously 66.666666 miles DUR BRUH, broski

cookies

u all are doin great keep up the good work

Yall are all stupid idiots the answer is clearly 2336 4/5

why would I care? who would use this in real life It seems a little pointless

1244 and 3/6

I also like potatoes

If I get this wrong I swear to god

i like cats and hate math

I don’t give a darn hoot

I don't even care
