51/2 times 1 1/6 multiply write answer in simplest form

Let's first put everything into fraction form:

Using 2 as the least common denominator, 5 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2
Using 6 as the least common denominator, 1 1/6 = 6/6 + 1/6 = 7/6

Now let's multiply those two:

11/2 x 7/6 = 77/12

Let's keep it going by getting some whole numbers out of that fraction:

12 goes into 77 six times. 12 x 6 = 72 so let's subtract:

77/12 - 72/12 = 6 5/12

Now, you asked for the simplest form, that would be 77/12
But if a mixed-form fraction works for your answer, 6 5/12 is also acceptable.

make them into an improper fraction by doing 5 times 2 plus 1 over 2= 11/2

and 1 times 6 plus 1 over 6= 7/6

now u can multiply straight across

top numbers = 11 times 7= 77

bottom numbers= 2 times 6= 12

so the answer is 77/12

simplest form= about 6.42 in simplest form and rounded in decimal

The correct answer is x = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression,

1/4x = 5/8

To solve the expression

The given expression is 1/4x = 5/8

(Cross multiply both sides we get)

8 = 5 * 4x

8 = 20x

20x = 8

x = 8/20

x = 2/5

Therefore the value of x = 2/5

The correct answer is x = 2/5
