Answer:

C. It is correct because 1 7/9 x 3/8 equals 2/3

Explanation:

- First we need to figure out if the solution is correct or incorrect. To do this, we will flip the fraction and multiply it. For example...

2/3 x 8/3 = 16/9 = 1 7/9

- Now we must determine which of the two correct options is correct. Lets try C.

You need to take 16/9/9 x 3/8 = 2/3. As you can see, this is correct and works.

- Hope this helps! If you would like a further explanation please let me know.
