Answer:

The correct equation that is true is D.

Step by step solved

To multiply mixed numbers, it's usually helpful to convert them to improper fractions first. So we have:

2 2/3 × 4 3/5 = (8/3) × (23/5)

Then we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

(8/3) × (23/5) = (8 × 23)/(3 × 5) = 184/15

Finally, we can convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:

184/15 = 12 4/15

Therefore, the equation 2 2/3 × 4 3/5 = 8 6/15 is not true, but the equation 2 2/3 × 4 3/5 = 8 4/15 is true.
