Answer:

Answer is 1 1/3

Explanation:

so what you do is 4 2 over 3 equals fraction numerator 4 space x space 3 space plus space 2 over denominator 3 end fraction equals 14 over 3

fraction numerator 14 space x space 3 over denominator 3 space x 3 space end fraction equals 42 over 9

fraction numerator 2 space x space 3 over denominator 3 space x space 3 end fraction equals 6 over 9

fraction numerator 42 space divided by space 6 over denominator 3 end fraction equals 7 over 3 equals 1 space 1 third

The answer is going to be 7

to make 4 and 2/3 a fraction you multiply 4 times 3, and then add two, so it will com in as 14/3

then you take the multiplicative inverse of that fraction which would make is 3/14, and then you multiply it by 2/3

3*2=6

14*3=42

so it comes out as 6/42, then you take the multiplicative inverse of that, and it come in at 42/6, divide 6 into 42 and you get seven.

hope this helps
