Question

Kwan said that the product of 5/6 × 2 1/3 is 10/3. how can you tell that his answer is wrong?

Answer 1

5/6 of a number cannot be greater than the number

Answer 2

He is wrong because the correct answer is
`(35)/(18)` which is not equal to
`(10)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given expression,

`(5)/(6)* 2(1)/(3)`

`=(5)/(6)* (7)/(3)`

`=(35)/(18)`

Since,

`(35)/(18)\\eq (10)/(3)`

Thus, Kwan's answer is incorrect because he multiply incorrectly.
