Question 1198341
<br>
17/5 as a mixed number is 3 2/5.  The whole number part is 3; the mixed number part is 2/5.<br>
We are told that a is the whole number part, so a=3.
We are also told that c is the numerator of the fraction part of the mixed number, so c=2.<br>
Then we have, for the fraction part of the mixed number,<br>
{{{1/(b+2/2)=2/5}}}
{{{1/(b+1)=2/5}}}
{{{2(b+1)=5}}}
{{{2b+2=5}}}
{{{2b=3}}}
{{{b=3/2}}}<br>
a=3; b=3/2; c=2.  abc = (3)(3/2)(2) = 9.<br>
ANSWER: A) 9<br>
