B. 2 5/12

C. 2 5/8

D. 8/21

Answer 1

So,

All we have to do is multiply. But first, we need to convert all mixed numbers into improper fractions.


`1 (3)/(4) --\ \textgreater \ (7)/(4)`

Now we multiply.

`(2)/(3) * (7)/(4) = (14)/(12)`

`(2*7)/(2*2*3) --\ \textgreater \ (7)/(2*3)`

`(7)/(6)\ or\ 1 (1)/(6)`

The correct answer is A.
