Math Problem Statement

What are the answers to the following math problems: (1) 4/5 * 2/3, (2) 16.8 + (-4), (3) 4.9 * 3.2, (4) -1/6 + 1/4?

Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image with some mathematical problems on it. Let's go through them one by one to solve them:

1. First Problem:

45×23\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{3}

This is a multiplication of fractions: 45×23=4×25×3=815\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4 \times 2}{5 \times 3} = \frac{8}{15} So, the correct answer is 815\frac{8}{15}, which you have correctly marked.

2. Second Problem:

16.8+(4)16.8 + (-4)

This is a simple addition with a negative number: 16.8+(4)=16.84=12.816.8 + (-4) = 16.8 - 4 = 12.8 It seems like you might have used an incorrect value of -4.2 in the solution steps, but the correct answer should be 12.812.8, not 4.24.2. Double-check that step.

3. Third Problem:

4.9×3.24.9 \times 3.2

This is straightforward multiplication: 4.9×3.2=15.684.9 \times 3.2 = 15.68 You have the correct answer 15.6815.68 here.

4. Fourth Problem:

16+14-\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{4}

We need a common denominator to add these fractions: 16=212,14=312\frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{12}, \quad \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12} Now, adding: 16+14=212+312=112-\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{2}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{12} So, the correct answer should be 112\frac{1}{12}, but the solution shows something different, so it looks like there's an error in the process.
