The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} \times 2 \frac{2}{11} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction The mixed fraction \( 2 \frac{2}{11} \) can be converted to an improper fraction. To convert: - Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (11): \( 2 \times 11 = 22 \) - Add the numerator (2) to this product: \( 22 + 2 = 24 \) Thus, \( 2 \frac{2}{11} = \frac{24}{11} \). ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression Now, we can rewrite the original expression with the improper fraction: \[ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{24}{11} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the fractions We can multiply the fractions directly: \[ \frac{4 \times 2 \times 24}{5 \times 3 \times 11} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the numerator and denominator Calculating the numerator: \[ 4 \times 2 = 8 \] \[ 8 \times 24 = 192 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 5 \times 3 = 15 \] \[ 15 \times 11 = 165 \] So, we have: \[ \frac{192}{165} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the fraction Now we need to simplify \( \frac{192}{165} \). We can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 192 and 165. The GCD of 192 and 165 is 3. Now we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3: \[ \frac{192 \div 3}{165 \div 3} = \frac{64}{55} \] ### Step 6: Convert back to a mixed number (if necessary) Since \( \frac{64}{55} \) is an improper fraction, we can convert it back to a mixed number: - Divide 64 by 55, which gives 1 with a remainder of 9. Thus, \( \frac{64}{55} = 1 \frac{9}{55} \). ### Final Answer: The simplified form of \( \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} \times 2 \frac{2}{11} \) is: \[ 1 \frac{9}{55} \] ---
