The answer is 13/18 is because you have to put 3 1/4 as an improper fraction and it equals to 13/4 and muiltply all of them so equals to 13/18

Simple....you can either multiply by changing these fractions into decimals...or multiply them as fractions...

In this case..we will do both methods.

You have...


(2)/(3) * (1)/(3) *3 (1)/(4)

change
3 (1)/(4)--->>>
(13)/(4) (Multiply whole number by denominator..add the numerator..and then use the original denominator)

So..now..


(2)/(3) * (1)/(3) * (13)/(4) =

=
(2)/(9)

=
(2)/(9) * (13)/(4) = (26)/(36)

Simplifying it....
(13)/(18)

Thus, your answer.

Now..convert into decimals...

you have...
(2)/(3) , (1)/(3) , (13)/(4)


(2)/(3) =0.67 (rounded)


(1)/(3) =0.33 (rounded)


(13)/(4) =3.25

0.67*0.33*3.25=0.72 (rounded)

And, if you divide
(13)/(18)....

=0.72

Thus, you know both your answers are...correct!!

Have a great day! :D
