Answer» (i) Given (4/7) × (14/25) (4/7) × (14/25) = (4 × 14)/ (7 × 25) = (56/175) Converting above fractions into simplest form = (8/25) (ii) Given 7 (1/2) × 2 (4/15) We have convert mixed fractions into improper fractions Then we get (15/2) and (34/15) = 7 (1/2) × 2 (4/15) = (15/2) × (34/15) = (15 × 34)/ (2 × 15) = (510/30) = 17 (iii) Given 3 (6/7) × 4 (2/3) We have convert mixed fractions into improper fractions Then we get (27/7) and (14/3) = 3 (6/7) × 4 (2/3) = (27/7) × (14/3) On simplifying = 9 × 2 = 18 (iv) Given 6 (11/14) × 3 (1/2) We have convert mixed fractions into improper fractions Then we get (95/14) and (7/2) 6 (11/14) × 3 (1/2) = (95/14) × (7/2) = (95 × 7)/28 = (665/28) = 23 (3/4) |
