Answer:

twenty eight fifteenths

Explanation:

2 1/3 x 4/5

so lets make the 2 1/3 into an improper fraction

2 x 3 = 6 + 1 = 7 so 7/3

now its 7/3 x 4/5

first we multiply the numerators 7 x 4 = 28

then the denominators 3 x 5 = 15

now you have 28 / 15 or twenty eight fifteenths

Answer: b. 28/15

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/3 = 7/3

= 7/3 × 4/5

= 28/15

= 1 13/15

(28/15 and 1 13/15 are the same, 1 13/15 is just simplified)

Hope this helped! :)
