00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.888
Here is the problem: 2 over 8 times 2 times 1 times 11.

2
00:00:05.338 --> 00:00:09.216
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:10.016 --> 00:00:13.325
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

4
00:00:13.775 --> 00:00:18.187
Simplify. Divide numerator and denominator by their GCF, 2.

5
00:00:18.637 --> 00:00:21.946
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

6
00:00:22.396 --> 00:00:25.751
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

7
00:00:26.551 --> 00:00:28.699
Final answer in lowest terms.

8
00:00:29.499 --> 00:00:31.484
So the answer is 11 over 2.

9
00:00:31.934 --> 00:00:45.007
Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.

10
00:00:45.807 --> 00:00:49.917
Decimal check: 11 over 2 approximately 5.5.

11
00:00:50.367 --> 00:00:52.863
As a mixed number: 5 1 over 2.
