Question

The value of $2\frac{5}{8}\times 2\frac{2}{21}$ is

Answer 1

$2\frac{5}{8}=2+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{16+5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}$

$2\frac{2}{21}=2+\frac{2}{21}=\frac{42+2}{21}=\frac{43}{21}$

$2\frac{5}{8}\times 2\frac{2}{21}=\frac{21}{8}\times \frac{43}{21}=\frac{43}{8}=\frac{40+3}{8}=5\frac{3}{8}$
