Answer:

To multiply 1 3/3 by 1 2/6, we can first convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions, then multiply them together, and finally simplify the result to its simplest form.

1 3/3 can be written as 4/3 (since 1 whole and 3/3 is equivalent to 4/3)

1 2/6 can be written as 8/6 (since 1 whole and 2/6 is equivalent to 8/6)

Now, we can multiply these two fractions together:

4/3 x 8/6 = (4 x 8) / (3 x 6) = 32/18

To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:

32/18 = (2 x 16) / (2 x 9) = 16/9

Therefore, the product of 1 3/3 and 1 2/6 is 16/9, or 1 and 7/9 in mixed number form, in its simplest form.
