Turn the mixed number into an improper fraction - take the whole # and multipy it by the denominator (bottom #). Then add the numerator (top #) to the previois answer. That will give you the numerator of ur improper fraction. The denominator is the same as the one in the mixed #. Then multiply the fractions straight across. Make sure to simplify if it is still an improper fraction: divide the numerator by the denominator leaving a mixed #. Simplify. Ex. 3 1/2 x 1/2 3 x 2 = 6 + 1 = 7 3 1/2 = 7/2 7/2 x 1/2 = 7/4 7 divide by 4 = 1 3/4
Multiplying any number by a half gets you the same number you would get if you were to divide the number by 2. When multiplying by 1/2, you are taking half the amount you started with. 14 x .5=7. You can multiply 14 by the 1 in 1/2, and create 14/2. Remember that 14 is the same thing as 14/1. You simplify 14/2 to 7/1, which is just 7.
the biggest number that can go into both 10 and 35 is 5. so 5 goes into 10, 2 times and 5 goes into 35, 7 times so the answer is 2/7
Assuming you meant 9/16 + 1/2 First convert fractions to the same denominator... 1/2 = 8/16 Now... 9/16+8/16 = 17/16 = 1 whole and 1/16
