You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9 1/4 times 3 5/6.
So, first turn these into improper fractions. There is a trick where you can multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction then add the numerator. For example, 9 times 4 = 36. Add 1 and you get 37. Then you keep the denominator and put 37 at the top.
Let's do this for 3 5/6 too. 3 times 6 = 18. Add 5 and you get 23.
Now multiply them.
There's nothing to simplify so multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
This makes If you want a mixed number, then see how many times 24 goes into 851.
Hmm. gets 840. gets 864. This is too big. So 24 goes into 851 35 times.
Now, subtract 840 from 851.
Keep the denominator, 24.
This gives us 35 11/24. (Thirty five and eleven twenty fourths)
