First, we need to turn both mixed number fractions into improper fractions. (Fractions with a numerator being larger than the denominator)

2 3/4 = 11/4

1 5/6 = 11/6


11 * 11 = 121

4 * 6 = 24

= 121/24


Simplifying 121/24 . . .

121/24 = 5 1/24


5 1/24 is your final answer.


I hope this helps! :)

Hi friend,



Converting mixed numbers to fractions, our initial equation becomes,


11/4 x 11/6


Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,


11 x 11 --> 121
-----
4 x 6 ------> 24


Simplifying 121/24, the answer is:


5 1/24



Hope this helped
