Answer:
Option (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8\frac{4}{5}[/tex] is a mixed fraction and can be written as,
[tex]8\frac{4}{5}=8+\frac{4}{5}[/tex] [Combination of a whole number and a fraction]
When we multiply this mixed fraction by 7,
[tex]7\times 8\frac{4}{5}=7\times (8+\frac{4}{5})[/tex]
[tex]=(7\times 8)+(7\times \frac{4}{5})[/tex] [Distributive property → a(b + c) = a×b + a×c]
[tex]=56+\frac{28}{5}[/tex]
[tex]=56+5\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]=56+5+\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]=61+\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]=61\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]7\times 8\frac{4}{5}=61\frac{3}{5}[/tex] will be the answer.
Option (A) will be the correct option.
