I am a Ignorant Nazi Ass

The problem: 6 4/7 x 6 5/7

Yes I know, pretty easy, I got to this point where I got 2162/49 but I totally forgot how to change that back into a mixed number. The answer is supposed to be 44 6/49 but I dont know how to change 2162/49 into 44 6/49.

Someone please help, this is urgent.

You divide the fraction. Divide 2162 by 49 and you get (on a calculator) 44.1224489759183673469387755102.

6/49 = .1224489759183673469387755102.

ok cool, I get how to get the whole number now, but say I did not know what the answer was and was just trying to solve it, how would I find out that 6/49 is equal to that without just plugging in number after number.

It's a timed test so I am just trying to find formulas to make things quicker to solve.

Long division. That should get you there (I think).

It wasnt the real airforce test, it was a practice and I scored the average for a high school graduate. If you dont do good on the practice then he wont have you come back, I did good, so I am coming back.
