Your answer is D.
1/2 x 3 1/4 x 1 1/2
1. Convert the Mixed Fractions into improper Fractions.
3 1/4 = 13/4 and 1 1/2 equals 3/2
2. Multiply any of the two fractions together.
1/2 x 13/4 = 13/8
3. Multiply the product by the remaining fraction.
13/8 x 3/2 = 39/16
4. Simplify
39/16 = 2 7/16
Answer:
D. 2 7/16
Step-by-step explanation:
convert 3 1/4 to an improper fraction, which would give us 13/4.
now we first multiply 1/2 with 13/4:
1/2 x 13/4 = 13/8
then we also convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction, and we will be getting 3/2.
So:
3/2 x 13/8 = 2 7/16
we get the final answer of 2 7/16! :)
