Flashcard 6 - Mathematics: Quantitative Reasoning Flashcard Set for the TSIA2

Multiply \(5\) and \(4\).

If we have a mixed number of the form \(a \frac{b}{c}\), we can convert it to an improper fraction using the formula shown below:

\[a \frac{b}{c} = \frac{(a \times c) + b}{c}\]

Hence, the first step in converting \(5 \frac{3}{4}\) to an improper fraction is to multiply \(5\) and \(4\).
