Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert the mixed number to fraction:
- Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number.
- Add the product obtained and the numerator of the fraction.
- Write the sum obtained as the numerator and rewrite the original denominator of the fraction.
Then:
[tex]1\ 1/2=\frac{(1)(2)+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
2. Multiply the numerators.
3. Multiply the denominator.
4. Reduce the fraction.
Then:
[tex](\frac{3}{2})(\frac{2}{1})=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]
