What is 3 1/4 times 5 3/4

Turn the two numbers into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator then adding the numerator - this gets you the new numerator. And then you keep the same Denominator. So then you have 13/4 times 23/4 and that equals: 299/16 (multiply straight across) then turn it back

into a mixed number and simplify to get: 10 5/8

13/4 + 23/4

= ((13 * 4) + (23 * 4)) / (4 * 4)

= (52 + 92) / 16

= 144/16

= 9/1

= 9
