You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(4.75 \cdot 1.2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[4.75 \cdot 1.2 = \frac{57}{10} = 5.7\]


\[\begin{aligned}4.75 \cdot 1.2& = \left(4 + \frac{75}{100}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \left(4 + \frac{3}{4}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{19}{4} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{19}{4} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{1}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{19}{4} \cdot \frac{6}{5}\\& = \frac{57}{10}\end{aligned}\]
