multiply
(1)/(6) by
20 (1)/(2)

first convert the mixed fraction to an irrational fraction


20 (1)/(2) = (41)/(2)

now multiply


(41)/(2) * (1)/(6) = (41)/(12)

convert back to mixed fraction because that's how they want the answer..


(41)/(12) = 3 (5)/(12)

what you want to do is take the 20 and 1/2 pounds and divide it by 6 which gives you 3.41 make it a fraction and simplify which gives you an answer of
3 2/10
