we have

4 2/4 × 2 2/4 - 6 4/6​

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

4 2/4=4 1/2=4+1/2=9/2

2 2/4=2 1/2=2+1/2=5/2

6 4/6=6 2/3=6+2/3=20/3

substitute

(9/2)x(5/2)-(20/3)

Solve the multiplication first

(45/4)-20/3

Solve the subtraction

Multiply (45/4) by (3/3)-----> 135/12

Multiply 20/3 by 4/4 -----> 80/12

Now, both fractions have the same denominator

so

135/12-80/12=(135-80)/12

=55/12

Convert to mixed number

55/12=48/12+7/12=4+7/12=4 7/12

answer is

4 7/12
