Question

Find: (a) $\frac{1}{2}$ of (i) 2 $\frac{3}{4}$ (ii) 4 $\frac{2}{9}$

(b) $\frac{5}{8}$ of (i) 3 $\frac{5}{6}$ (ii) 9 $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

(a)
(i) $\frac{1}{2}$ × 2 $\frac{3}{4}$= $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{11}{4}$ = $\frac{11}{8}$ = 1 $\frac{3}{8}$
(ii) $\frac{1}{2}$× 4 $\frac{2}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{38}{9}$ = $\frac{19}{9}$= 2$\frac{1}{9}$

(b)
(i) $\frac{5}{8}$ × 3 $\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{23}{6}$ = $\frac{115}{48}$ =2 $\frac{19}{48}$
(ii) $\frac{5}{8}$× 9 $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{29}{3}$=$\frac{145}{24}$= 6 $\frac{1}{24}$
