Answer:
[tex] = \frac{44}{5} = 8 \frac{5}{4} = 8.8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5 \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \frac{4}{5} [/tex]
[tex]5 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{ 5 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{10 + 1}{2} = \frac{11}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{11}{2} \times 2 \times \frac{4}{5} [/tex]
[tex]11 \times \frac{4}{5 } = \frac{11}{1} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{11 \times 4}{1 \times 5} = \frac{44}{5} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{44}{5} = 8 \frac{5}{4} = 8.8[/tex]
