Answer:

8 1/4

Explanation:

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number with the denominator and add the numerator.

2 1/4 = 9/4

3 2/3 = 11/3

Then multiply both sides.

9/4 x 11/3 = 99/12

When you get your product, simplify it into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator. When you get your quotient, use the remainder as the new numerator over the denominator.

99/12 = 8 /14
