How to solve 5/9 multipled by 3 9/10 showimg work

Answer 1

`(5)/(9)*3(9)/(10)`

Turn the mixed fraction into an improper fraction

`(5)/(9)*(39)/(10)`

cross multiply. 5 can go into 10 so cross out 5 and replace it with a 1 and cross out 10 and replace it with a 2.

`(1)/(9)*(39)/(2)`

Now multiply the numerators and denominators.

`(1)/(9)*(39)/(2)=(39)/(18)`

Turn the improper fraction back into a mixed number

`(39)/(18)=2(3)/(18)`

Simplify/Reduce

`2(1)/(6)`

The final answer would be 2 1/6
