Multiply. express your answer in simplest form.

9 1/6 × 1 1/11

1. 9 1/66
2. 10 1/17
3. 10
4. 10 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First, you need to take the whole numbers (9 and 1) and set them aside.

2.) Multiply the numerators from each fraction by one another. The numerators are the numbers on the top of the fraction. (Whatever you get on that will be the numerator of the answer!)

3.) Multiply the denominators by each other as well. The denominators are the numbers on the bottom. This will be the denominator of your answer.

4.) Now, you need to multiply your whole numbers (9 and 1) together.

5.) Then, simplify or reduce your answer. (this can't be simplified, as it is already in its simplest form)

Your answer will be 9 1/66.

Your work should look like this in the end:

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
