Evaluate 1 1/4 x 6 giving your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

7 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First remember the rule to multiply fractions, you gots to have fractions; so convert 1 1/4 into a mixed number. To do this, multiply 1 by 4, then add 1. It equals 5/4.

Next multiply 5/4 by 6. You can "cross simplify" to make this problem easier and you will the the simplest form. To cross simplify, divide 6 and 4 by 2. The new thing is 5/2 times 3. This equals 15/2.

Divide but don't turn into decimal. 7 remainder 1 the divisor is 2.

Put them together 7 1/2

Final answer 7 1/2

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
