Solve 31/2*22/7

$$3 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \cdot 2 \frac { 2 } { 7 }$$

Evaluate

$$8$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$\frac{6+1}{2}\times \frac{2\times 7+2}{7}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{2\times 7+2}{7}$$

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

$$\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{14+2}{7}$$

Add 14 and 2 to get 16.

$$\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{16}{7}$$

Multiply \frac{7}{2} times \frac{16}{7} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{7\times 16}{2\times 7}$$

Cancel out 7 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{16}{2}$$

Divide 16 by 2 to get 8.

$$8$$

Factor

$$2^{3}$$
