Answer:


5(5)/(6)

Explanation:

The problem above requires the use of mathematical operation with mixed fractions. In order to do this, you have to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions first.

Let's convert.


  • 3(1)/(2) =
    (7)/(2)

  • 1(2)/(3) =
    (5)/(3)

Next, you have to multiply the fractions by multiplying the numerators with each other and the denominators with each other.

Let's solve.


  • (7)/(2) x
    (5)/(3) =
    (35)/(6)

Since
(35)/(6) is an improper fraction and the choices above are mixed fractions, you have to convert it.

Let's convert.


  • (35)/(6) =
    5(5)/(6)

Therefore, the answer is
5(5)/(6)
