Answer: D or 14 [tex]\frac{24}{25\\}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
So this problem is actaully quite simple heres the first step
I just put the whole number into the fraction
[tex]4\frac{2}{5} *3\frac{2}{5}=\frac{(4*5)+2}{5} *\frac{(3*5\\)+2}{5}[/tex]
Next we simplify the tops of the fractions.
[tex]\frac{(4*5)+2}{5} *\frac{(3*5)+2}{5}=\frac{22}{5} *\frac{17}{5}[/tex]
Then we multiply
[tex]\frac{22}{5} *\frac{17}{5} =\frac{22*17}{5*5}[/tex]
We finish multiplying
[tex]\frac{22*17}{5*5} =\frac{374}{25}[/tex]
Hmm this could be close
374 is roughly 375 so...
[tex]\frac{375}{25} -\frac{1}{25} \\or\\\frac{350}{25} +\frac{24}{25}[/tex]
This is better 350 is divisible by 25
in fact it is = 14 so the answer is
[tex]14\frac{24}{25}[/tex]
