Answer:
The product is [tex]12\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with:
[tex](3)(4\frac{1}{5} )[/tex]
[tex]4\frac{1}{5}[/tex] is the same as [tex]4+\frac{1}{5}[/tex] .
Let's rewrite:
[tex](3)(4+\frac{1}{5})[/tex]
Distribute [tex]3[/tex] in to [tex]4[/tex]:
[tex](3)(4)=12[/tex]
And [tex]3[/tex] distributed in to [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] is the same as [tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]\frac{3}{1}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5} =\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Now let's add our new whole number and fraction.
[tex]12+\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
And we've already established that the expression above is how we can rewrite a mixed number, so let's make it a mixed number by adding.
[tex]12\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
