6.5 is equal to 65/10 the reciprocal of that is 10/65=2/13
When we multiply a whole number with a fraction, we can think of the whole numbers as "over one"...
5 3 5 15
3 * --- = --- * ---- = ----
6 1 6 6
We can further simplify the fraction, by dividing numerator and denominator by 3...
15 15 / 3 5
--- = ------- = ----
6 6 / 3 2
Since this is an improper fraction, we need to turn it into a mixed number...
5 2 + 2 + 1 2 2 1 1 1
---- = -------------- = --- + ---- + --- = 1 + 1 + ---- = 2 --- or 2.5
2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Answer:
the image os not clear mate sorry
Multiplying fractions is just multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together.
To find out which one is bigger, we need a common denominator. The LCM of 7 and 21 is 21, so convert the first fraction into a denominator of 21. 7 goes into 21 three times, multiply this to the numerator and denominator:
Now just compare the numerators to see which one is bigger.
therefore,
