Answer :
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 * 2 1/2
convert to improper fractions
([tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]) * ([tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex])
add the fractions up
[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
multiply the tops and the bottoms.. the numerator (tops) , and the denominator (bottoms)
[tex]\frac{25}{4}[/tex]
this is still an improper fraction ( numerator larger than denominator)
divide 4 into 25... it can go 6 times.... to make 24 so subtract 24 from 25
6 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (that's your answer)
