What is the product of 1 2/3 and -3 1/2

-5 5/6

Explanation:

So the same thing as the last question I answered, we have to multiply the top row and the bottom row. However, the fractions in the photo are actually mixed numbers so we first have to make them into improper fractions.

1 and 2/3 would be: 5/3

-3 and 1/2 would be: - 7/2

So now we have to multiply them:  5/3  * - 7/2:

Same steps: 5 * 7 = 35; 3 * 2 = 6:

- 35/6, or we could simplify and make it a mixed number so and also add the negative sign:

6 goes into 35 5 times so: -5 and 5/6 or -5 5/6

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
