Problem 16: 9 × 8⁴⁄
First, turn the mixed number into an improper fraction:
8⁴⁄₅ = (8 × 5 + 4)/5 = (40 + 4)/5 = 44/5
Now multiply:
9 × 44/5 = (9 × 44) / 5 = 396 / 5
Convert back to a mixed number:
396 ÷ 5 = 79 with remainder 1 →
79¹⁄₅
✔ Check: 5 × 79 = 395, plus 1 = 396 → correct.

Problem 17: 12 × 3³⁄₄
Turn 3³⁄₄ into improper fraction:
(3 × 4 + 3)/4 = (12 + 3)/4 = 15/4
Multiply:
12 × 15/4 = (12 × 15) / 4 = 180 / 4 =
45
✔ Check: 180 ÷ 4 = 45 → correct.

Problem 18: ³⁄₄ × 9
Write 9 as 9/1:
³⁄₄ × 9/1 = (3 × 9) / (4 × 1) = 27/4
Convert to mixed number:
27 ÷ 4 = 6 with remainder 3 →
6³⁄₄
✔ Check: 4 × 6 = 24, plus 3 = 27 → correct.

Problem 19: 3 × 5¹⁄₆
Turn 5¹⁄₆ into improper fraction:
(5 × 6 + 1)/6 = (30 + 1)/6 = 31/6
Multiply:
3 × 31/6 = (3 × 31) / 6 = 93 / 6
Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by 3 → 31/2
Convert to mixed number:
31 ÷ 2 = 15 with remainder 1 →
15¹⁄₂
✔ Check: 2 × 15 = 30, plus 1 = 31 → correct.

Final Answer:
16) 79¹⁄₅
17) 45
18) 6³⁄₄
19) 15¹⁄₂
