Answer:

1 1/3 or 4/3

Step-by-step:

first, turn 2 2/9 into a fraction, 20/9

then multiply 20 by 3/5, to do this multiply 20 by 3 then divide it by 5. you get 12.

then put 12 back into the fraction, and you get 12/9. this can be rewritten as:

1 3/9, or

1 1/3, or

4/3

1.333...

all of those answers would be correct
