Simplify; 2\(\frac{1}{4} \times 3\frac{1}{2} \div 4 \frac{3}{8}\)

  • A. \(\frac{5}{9}\)
  • B. 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
  • C. 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
  • D. 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Correct Answer: D. 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Explanation

2\(\frac{1}{4} \times 3\frac{1}{2} \div 4 \frac{3}{8}\)

= \(\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{7}{2} \div \frac{35}{8}\)

= \(\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{7}{2} \div \frac{8}{35}\)

= \(\frac{9}{5}\)

= 1 \(\frac{4}{5}\)
