Answer

132\frac{1}{32}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here's how to solve the expression:

  1. Write the given expression.

    1734×612×18\frac{17}{34} \times \frac{6}{12} \times \frac{1}{8}
  2. Simplify the fractions by cross-cancellation.

    Notice that 34=2×1734 = 2 \times 17, so 1734\frac{17}{34} simplifies to 12\frac{1}{2}.
    Also, 12=2×612 = 2 \times 6, so 612\frac{6}{12} simplifies to 12\frac{1}{2}.

    1342×61122×18\frac{1}{\cancel{34}_2} \times \frac{\cancel{6}_1}{\cancel{12}_2} \times \frac{1}{8}
  3. Rewrite the expression with the simplified fractions.

    12×12×18\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{8}
  4. Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

    1×1×12×2×8=132\frac{1 \times 1 \times 1}{2 \times 2 \times 8} = \frac{1}{32}

    The final answer is 132\frac{1}{32}.
