Answer:

Explanation:

If you can present a problem in Latex, you can do anything. I don't know what the question mark is for. I'm just ignoring it.

55 2/3 * 66 5/6

One of the ways to get the answer is to use decimals

55.666666667 * 66.833333333 = 3720.38889

Another way to do this problem is to break up one of the numbers

55 2/3 (66 + 5/6) You can do this if you know how to use the distributive property.

55 2/3 * 66 + 55 2/3 * 5/6

( (165 + 2) / 3) * 66 + (165 + 2)/3 * 5/6

167/3 * 66 + 167 / 3 * 5/6

167 * 22 + (167 * 5 / (3 * 6)

3674 + 835 / 18

3674 + 46 7/18

3720 7/18

If none of these seem right and you have choices, please list them.
