Rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.

9 815

Practice makes perfect
Before we evaluate the expression, let's first rewrite the expression so that all of the numbers are fractions.
2 16* 4 25
2* 6+1/6* 4*5+2/5
12+1/6* 20+2/5
13/6* 22/5
When we multiply fractions, we need to remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators. Let's find the given product!
13/6* 22/5
13* 22/6* 5
286/30
The quotient is 28630. We can also write this as mixed number.
286/30
270+16/30
270/30+16/30
9+16/30
9+16Ă· 2/30Ă· 2
