Answer:

11/6 OR 1 5/6

Explanation:

First, change 2 3/4 into an improper fraction. 4 times 2 equals 8, plus 3 equals 11. So, Livia sold 11/4 pounds of fudge. Next, multiply 11/4 by 2/3. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. 11 times 2 equals 22, and 4 times 3 equals 12. So, Grace sold 22/12 pounds of fudge. However, you can simplify this first. 22/2 equals 11 and 12/2 equals 6. So, Grace sold 11/6 pounds of fudge. OR, you can also change it to 1 5/6, if you need a mixed number. Hope this helped!
