Final answer:
To multiply mixed numbers, convert them into improper fractions, then multiply the numerators and denominators. In this case, 2 4/3 x 2 1/3 = 7 7/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
When asked to multiply two mixed numbers, like 2 and 4/3 x 2 and 2/6, there are a few steps to follow. First, convert each mixed number into an improper fraction. For example, 2 and 4/3 becomes 10/3 and 2 and 2/6 simplifies to 2 and 1/3, then becomes 7/3. Once you have the improper fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together. Therefore, (10/3) x (7/3) equals 70/9 which simplifies to 7 and 7/9.
