Question

Evaluate the following:

$0.8\times \frac{\frac{7}{12}}{\frac{5}{24}}$.

• A. $2\frac{6}{25}$
• B. $3\frac{6}{25}$
• C. $\frac{6}{25}$
• D. $\frac{26}{25}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2\frac{6}{25}$

Given, $0.8\times \frac{\frac{7}{12}}{\frac{5}{24}}=0.8\times \frac{7}{12}\times \frac{24}{5}=0.8\times \frac{14}{5}$

$=\frac{8}{10}\times \frac{14}{5}$
$=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{14}{5}$

$=\frac{56}{25}$

$=2\frac{6}{25}$
