Step-by-step explanation:
6 1/2 to improper fraction
(Denominator * whole number) + numerator/denominator
Whole number = 6
Numerator = 1
Denominator = 2
6 1/2 = (2x6)+1/2 = 13/2
2 8/9 to improper fraction
(Denominator * whole number) + numerator/denominator
Whole number = 2
Numerator = 8
Denominator = 9
2 8/9 = (9x2)+8/9 = 26/9
Solve:
N = 13/2 x 26/9
N = (13x26)/(2x9)
N = 338/18
Change 338/18 to mixed number
(Divide numerator by denominator)
338 ÷ 18 = 18 remainder 14
(Get the quotient 18 as whole number, the remainder 14 as numerator, and copy 18 as denominator)
18 14/18
(Make 14/18 to lowest term by dividing them with their GCF: 2)
Final Answer:
18 7/9
