Hello There!

7/6 x 16/6 = 112/36.
You simply found out the mixed number fractions, converted them into improper fractions and multiplied them together.
You can then convert it into a mixed number which would make it 3 4/16

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Hi there.

Each line on the graph is equivalent to: 1/6
SO we can see that n is graphed at: 1 1/6 and m is graphed at: 2 4/6

To estimate the product, let's convert each fraction into an improper fraction.
n = 1 1/6 = 7/6
m = 2 4/6 = 16/6

Multiply the improper fractions.
7/6(16/6) = 112/36 = 3 4/16 = 3 1/9 (Simplified)

So 3 1/9 is your answer.
