Answer:

2 2/3 * 2 2/3 = 64/9 = 7 1/9 ≅ 7.1111111

Explanation:

The result:

2 2/3 * 2 2/3 = 64/

9

= 7 1/

9

≅ 7.1111111

Spelled result in words is sixty-four ninths (or seven and one ninth).

How do we solve fractions step by step?

Conversion a mixed number 2 2/

3

to a improper fraction: 2 2/3 = 2 2/

3

= 2 · 3 + 2/

3

= 6 + 2/

3

= 8/

3

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 3. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 3/

3

= 6/

3

b) Add the answer from previous step 6 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 6 + 2 = 8

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 8) over the denominator 3.

Two and two thirds is eight thirds

Multiple: 8/

3

* 8/

3

= 8 · 8/

3 · 3

= 64/

9

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(64, 9) = 1. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - eight thirds multiplied by eight thirds is sixty-four ninths.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
