Answer:


(12)/(49)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the keep change flip method. This consists of literally flipping a fraction to make the denominators alike, allowing for faster solves and multiplication.


2(1)/(3) is
(7)/(3), so flip 7/3 so it is 3/7, matching up with 4/7.

Next, multiply.

4 x 3

7 x 7

4 x 3 is 12. Write 12 as a numerator.

7 x 7 is 49. Write 49 as a denominator.

Therefore, the answer is
(12)/(49)

Simplifying? We cannot simplify this number due to a lack of factors.
