To calculate the product of a fration and a number, we first need to remeber that any number can be written as a fraction by putting 1 into the denominator:


6=(6)/(1)

Now, to make a multiplication of two fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:


(7)/(9)\cdot6=(7)/(9)\cdot(6)/(1)=(7\cdot6)/(9\cdot1)=(42)/(9)

This fraction can be simplifies first by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3:


(42)/(9)=(14)/(3)

Now, we can write the fraction as a mixed number by checking how many times 3 fits in 14.

4 times 3 is 12, so we can rewrite the fraction as:


(14)/(3)=(12+2)/(3)=4(2)/(3)

So, this corresponds to alternative C.
