Answer:
The error Tara made is she rewrote incorrectly 3 3/8 as 17/8 and 4 1/9 as 13/9,
the corrected number can be rewrote as 3 3/8 as 27/8 and 4 1/9 as 37/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the Product of:
[tex]3\frac{3}{8}\times 4\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
The Number can be rewrote as,
[tex]\frac{3\times8+3}{8}\times \frac{4\times9+1}{9}\\\\\frac{24+3}{8}\times \frac{36+1}{9}\\\\\frac{27}{8}\times \frac{37}{9}[/tex]
Tara made error here she rewrote the number incorrectly 3 3/8 as 17/8 amd 4 1/9 as 13/9.
Now multiplying the fraction we get
[tex]\frac{999}{72}[/tex]
Because she rewrote incorrectly which led her answer to multiplication of fraction, the product too was incorrect which she wrote as 221/72.
