Question:

Solution:

Consider the following multiplication diagram, where the multiplication of extremes and means to generate a fraction is explained:

this is equivalent to:

$\frac{2\text{ x 2 }}{3\text{ x 1}}=\text{ }(4)/(3)$

Applying the definition of mixed numbers, we have that the above fraction is equivalent to:

$\text{ }(4)/(3)\text{ = 1 }(1)/(3)\text{ = }\frac{(3\text{ x 1) + 1}}{3}\text{ = }(4)/(3)$

that is:

$\text{ }(4)/(3)\text{ = 1 }(1)/(3)\text{ }$

then, the correct answer would be:
