Question

What is 2 1/3 multiplied by 5 1/3 as a mixed number or fraction

Answer 1

First we must convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions:

`2(1)/(3)=(2\cdot3+1)/(2)=(7)/(3)\\\\5(1)/(3)=(5\cdot3+1)/(3)=(16)/(3)`

`2(1)/(3)\cdot5(1)/(3)=(7)/(3)\cdot(16)/(3)=(7\cdot16)/(3\cdot3)=(112)/(9)=(108+4)/(9)=12(4)/(9)\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{2(1)/(3)\cdot5(1)/(3)=12(4)/(9)}`
