Answer:

20 20/27

Explanation:

(2 2/3)(3 1/3)(2 1/3) = (8/3)(10/3)(7/3) = 560/27 = 20 20/27

_____

Additional comment

The first two numbers can be written as a difference and a sum:

= (3 -1/3)(3 +1/3)(2 1/3)

= (3·3 -1/3·3 +3·1/3 -1/3·1/3)(2 1/3)

= (9 -1/9)(2 +1/3) = 9·2 +9·1/3 -1/9·2 -1/9·1/3 = 18 +3 -6/27 -1/27

= 20 20/27
