%284%2F11%29+%2A+7 Re-write 7 as 7%2F1 to help you line up your numerator and denominator:
%284%2F11%29%2A%287%2F1%29 Multiply the numertaors and denominators:
%284%2A7%29%2F%2811%2A1%29
highlight%2828%2F11%29
:
This is an improper fraction because the numerator , 28 is bigger than the denominator, 11. If you are required to turn improper fractions into mixed numbers, divide 28 by 11 and put the remainder over the 11. You get:
2 6/11. <---don't do this unless the teacher asks for it.
Happy calculating!!!
