Answer:

4 2/3

Explanation:

You need to turn the fractions into improper fractions

To do that you multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator, doing that will give you your new numerator, but the denominator stays the same

3 1/2. 3×2 = 6. 6+1=7 3 1/2 = 7/2

1 1/3. 1×3 = 3. 3+1 = 4. 1 1/3 = 4/3

Then multiply both numerator by each other and do the same for the denominators

7×4 = 28

2×3 = 6

28/6

Then simply it

28/6 = 4 2/3
