SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question
STEP 1: Write the problem
[tex]23\times\frac{3}{4}[/tex]STEP 2: Solve the problem
[tex]\begin{gathered} 23\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{23}{1}\times\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{ Since there are no co}mmon\text{ factors, we multiply the numerators and the denominators} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{23\times3}{1\times4}=\frac{69}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]STEP 3: We simplify the result in step 2 into a mixed fraction
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{69}{4} \\ 69\div4=17\text{ with a remainder of 1} \\ \text{This written as fraction gives:} \\ 17\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the solution for the multiplication is:
[tex]17\frac{1}{4}[/tex]OPTION D
