Suppose we want to multiply a fraction by a mixed number. For example,
To solve this problem, we can use the following three steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to 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. In this case, no simplification is needed because the fraction is a proper fraction.
So, the answer is
What is the missing digit in the following equality?
First, we write as an improper fraction:
Now, we can multiply the two numbers. We multiply the numerators, and we multiply the denominators:
Therefore, the missing number is
