Answer:

a 26

b 8 2/3

Explanation:

a) 4 1/3 * 6

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

(3*4+1)/3 *6

13/3 *6

= 78/3

= 26


b) 2 3/5 * 3 1/3

Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

(5*2+3)/5 * (3*3+1)/3

13/5 * 10/3

130/15

Top and bottom divide by 5

26/3

Change back to a mixed number

3 goes into 26 8 times (3*8 =24) with 2 left over

8 2/3
