Question 794601
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.

{{{37/4}}}

Let's do this for 3 5/6 too. 3 times 6 = 18. Add 5 and you get 23. 

{{{23/6}}}

Now multiply them.

{{{(37/4)*(23/6)}}}

There's nothing to simplify so multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. 

{{{37*23=851}}}
{{{4*6=24}}}

This makes {{{851/24}}} If you want a mixed number, then see how many times 24 goes into 851.

Hmm. {{{24*35}}} gets 840. {{{24*36}}} gets 864. This is too big. So 24 goes into 851 35 times. 

Now, subtract 840 from 851.

{{{851-840=11}}}

Keep the denominator, 24.

This gives us 35 11/24. (Thirty five and eleven twenty fourths)
