2 1/6 x 4 1/2= and explain it

Okay, so first you need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

= 2 1/6 = 13/6

= 4 1/2 = 9/2

= 13/6*9/2

= 13*9/6*2

= 13*3*3/6*2

= 13*3*3/3*2*2

= 13*3/2*2

= 39/2^2

= 39/4

39/4 = 9 3/4

9 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would want to multiply the whole number with their denominators and then add the numerator to that. 2*6+1 and 4*2+1  Then you keep the original denominator at the bottom of the fraction.

2*6+1/6  4*2+1/2 ---> 13/6 x 9/2

You would then simplify the crossing numbers 6 and 9. They both can be divided by three.

13/2 x 3/2 = 39/4

Now you would do long division where you divide 39 by 4

4 goes into 39 nine times subtracting 36 from 39.

You then end up with 1 which becomes you numerator, 4 is the new denominator and 9 is the whole number.
