Answer:

5 1/2 or 5.5

Explanation:

First, we can convert these values to improper fractions, where the numerator is larger than the denominator.

Then, we'd get:

3/2 x 11/3

Now, we can multiply the numerators and denominators, and we would get the answer of 33/6

When we convert 33/6 to a mixed number, we get 5 3/6, which can then be further simplified to 5 1/2 OR 5.5 (whichever you prefer)
