the answer is really 1 5/6 because 5/6 + 2/3=5/6 NOT 7/3 so of course she is wrong

Answer:

25/ 18 is not equal to 7/3

Explanation:

Bonita said that the product of 5/6 times 1 2/3 is 7/3

( 5/6)x ( 1 ⅔) = 7/3

( 5/6) x( 5/3) = 7/3

5/6 x 5/3 = 7/3

Thus, her answer is wrong 25/ 18 is not equal to 7/3
