Answer:
Fraction Form (Mixed Number Form) = 2 107/200
Decimal Form: 2.535
Step-by-step explanation:
Mixed Number x Fraction
Convert 16 to a fraction : 16/100
2 and 3/8 x 16
Steps:
2 3/8 + 16/100
=(2+0)+(3/8+16/100)
=2+3*25/8*25+16*2/100*2
=2+75/200+32/200
=2+75+32/200
=2+107/200
=2 107/200
Explanation:
For the problem:
2 3/8 + 16/100
Combine the whole numbers and fractions together:
(2+0)+(3/8+16/100)
The whole numbers part is:
2 + 0 = 2
For the fractions part:
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8 and 100 is 200. Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by whatever value will result in the denominator of each fraction being equal to the LCM:
3/8+16/100=3*25/8*25+16*2/100*2=75/200+32/200
Now that the fractions have like denominators, add the numerators:
75/200+32/200=75+32/200=107/200
Put the whole number and fraction together:
2+107/200= 2 107/200
The result is:
2 3/8 + 16/100 = 2 107/200
