2 A bolle of La Belle Boouf contains \( \frac{3}{8} \) ounce of perfume. How many ounces of pertune would \( 4 \frac{1}{2} \) bottes contain? \[ \begin{array}{lll}\text { F } 1 \frac{1}{2} & \text { H } 1 \frac{11}{16} \\ 64 \frac{2}{5} & \text { \& } 4 \frac{7}{8}\end{array} \]

To find out how many ounces of perfume are in \( 4 \frac{1}{2} \) bottles, we first convert \( 4 \frac{1}{2} \) to an improper fraction, which is \( \frac{9}{2} \). Then, we multiply \( \frac{3}{8} \) (the amount of perfume in one bottle) by \( \frac{9}{2} \): \[ \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{9}{2} = \frac{27}{16} \] To convert \( \frac{27}{16} \) to a mixed number, we divide 27 by 16, which gives us \( 1 \frac{11}{16} \) ounces of perfume in \( 4 \frac{1}{2} \) bottles. Now, for a touch of flair: Imagine you’re at a perfume shop, where each bottle of La Belle Boouf is a potion of enchanting aromas. If happy scents were gold, you'd have just over a cup of sparkling fragrance ready to transform your space into a fragrant paradise! And if you're looking to impress someone at a party with your newfound knowledge, share that multiplying fractions can often be simplified. Keep those numerators and denominators straight, and watch out for those pesky mistakes—forgetting to convert mixed numbers into improper ones is a classic pitfall. With practice, you’ll be breezing through these calculations like a pro!
