Answer:
7 19/42
Step 1:
Convert the mixed fractions into improper fraction (Denominator will be same)
2x7+2= 16/7
5x6+1=31/6
Step 2:
LCM of 6 and 7 are 42
Step 3:
217+96/42= 313/42
Step 4:
Covert to mixed fraction so the answer is 7 19/42
I believe the answer would be 6 because 7x2=14 so 3 cantaloupes x 2= 6
Answer:
Is not correct. The product not always will be smaller.
Step-by-step explanation:
A fraction could increase a number if you multiply it.
If the numerator is higher to the denominator, it will increase it.
If the numerator is smaller to the denominator, it will decrease it.
<u>For example,</u>
10 x 4/3
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
10×4/1×3=40/3= 13,33
13,33 is higher than 10.
5 x 10/3
For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get
5×10/1×3=50/3
16,66 is higher than 5.
