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

In order to multiply mixed numbers, you need to convert them into improper fractions.


3(1)/(3) \rightarrow(10)/(3)


3(1)/(2) \rightarrow(7)/(2)

Multiply:


(10)/(3) *(7)/(2)


=\fbox{$(35)/(3) $}or\fbox{11$(2)/(3) $}

Answer:

35/3

Explanation:

To find the product of 3 1/3 and 3 1/2, we first need to convert both numbers to fractions with a common denominator.

3 1/3 is equal to 10/3, and 3 1/2 is equal to 7/2.

To find a common denominator, we can find the least common multiple of 3 and 2, which is 6.

Then, we can express both fractions as fractions with a denominator of 6:

10/3 becomes 20/6, and 7/2 becomes 21/6.

Now that both fractions have a common denominator, we can multiply them together:

(20/6) * (21/6) = 420/36

This fraction can be simplified to:

420/36 = 35/3

So, the product of 3 1/3 and 3 1/2 is 35/3.
