The correct Answer is:
To solve the multiplication of the mixed number \( 6 \frac{2}{5} \) and the fraction \( \frac{15}{64} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction The mixed number \( 6 \frac{2}{5} \) can be converted to an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (6) by the denominator (5) and then add the numerator (2). \[ 6 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{(6 \times 5) + 2}{5} = \frac{30 + 2}{5} = \frac{32}{5} \] ### Step 2: Write the multiplication of the fractions Now we can write the multiplication of the improper fraction \( \frac{32}{5} \) and the fraction \( \frac{15}{64} \): \[ \frac{32}{5} \times \frac{15}{64} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the numerators and denominators Next, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: \[ \frac{32 \times 15}{5 \times 64} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 32 \times 15 = 480 \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 5 \times 64 = 320 \] So we have: \[ \frac{480}{320} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction Now we simplify \( \frac{480}{320} \). We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 160: \[ \frac{480 \div 160}{320 \div 160} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 5: Convert to a mixed number (if needed) The fraction \( \frac{3}{2} \) can also be expressed as a mixed number: \[ \frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2} \] ### Final Answer The final answer is: \[ \frac{3}{2} \text{ or } 1 \frac{1}{2} \] ---
