ANSWER:

b. 4 19/15

Explanation:

We calculate the product between both mixed numbers, like this:


\begin{gathered} 1(2)/(3)\cdot 3(3)/(5) \\ \\ 1(2)/(3)=(5)/(3) \\ \\ 3(3)/(5)=(18)/(5) \\ \\ (5)/(3)\cdot(18)/(5)=(90)/(15)=(18)/(3)=6 \end{gathered}

Therefore, of the options the only one that is not equivalent is option b. 4 19/15
