Answer :
The numerator in a fraction represents the number of pieces selected. If the
numerator is larger than the denominator, the number is larger than one.
The denominator in a fraction represents the total number of equal size pieces that make up a whole.
Multiplying by a fraction 2/3 means to divide what you have into 3 each portions, then take two of these.
When multiplying fractions:
1. Cross reduce 2. Multiply numerators 3. Multiply denominators.
[tex]400* \dfrac{2}{3} [/tex]
[tex]400*2=800[/tex] [tex]Multiply \ the \ numerators [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{800}{3} [/tex] [tex]simplify [/tex]
[tex]266 \dfrac{2}{3} [/tex] [tex]Convert \ to \ mixed \ fraction[/tex]
[tex]Decimal \ Form: 266.6667[/tex]
