Suppose we want to multiply the following mixed numbers:
To solve this problem, we can use the following three steps:
Step 1: Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions.
First, we write as an improper fraction:
We also write as an improper fraction:
Step 2: Multiply the fractions by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately:
Step 3: Simplify or convert back to a mixed number, if necessary:
Therefore, the answer is
What is the missing digit in the following equality?
First, we write as an improper fraction:
We also write as an improper fraction:
Now, we can multiply the two numbers.
We can simplify this product by swapping the denominators:
Therefore, the missing number is
