Evaluate the following and express the answer as a mixed fraction:
$4\frac{2}{3}\ \times\ 1\frac{1}{11}$
Given: $4 \frac{2}{3}\ \times\ 1 \frac{1}{11}$
To do: Here we have to evaluate the given expression and express the answer as a mixed fraction.
Solution:
$4\frac{2}{3}\ \times\ 1\frac{1}{11}$
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: $4 \frac{2}{3}\ =\ \frac{14}{3}$
$\frac{14}{3} \times 1 \frac{1}{11}$
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: $1 \frac{1}{11}\ =\ \frac{12}{11}$
$\frac{14}{3}\ \times\ \frac{12}{11}$
Factor the number: $12\ =\ 3\ \times\ 4$
$=\ \frac{14}{3}\ \times\ \frac{3\ \times\ 4}{11}$
Cross-cancel common factor: 3
$=\ \frac{14}{1}\ \times\ \frac{4}{11}$
Apply the fraction rule: $\frac{a}{b}\ \times\ \frac{c}{d}\ =\ \frac{a\ \times\ c}{b\ \times\ d}$
$\frac{14}{1}\ \times\ \frac{4}{11}\ =\ \frac{14\ \times\ 4}{1\ \times\ 11}$
Multiply the numbers: $14\ \times\ 4\ =\ 56$
$=\ \frac{56}{1\ \times\ 11}$
Multiply the numbers: $1\ \times\ 11\ =\ 11$
$=\ \frac{56}{11}$
Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers: $\frac{56}{11}\ =\ 5 \frac{1}{11}$
$=\ \mathbf{5\frac{1}{11}}$
So, value of the given expression is $5 \frac{1}{11}$.
