Answer: 1 2/3

Explanation:
1. You have to turn 5 5/6 into an improper fraction, 35/6.
6 times 5= 30
30 +5= 35 so, the numerator is 35 and the denominator stays the same, 6

2. Multiple 35/6 times 2/7
35 times 2= 70
6 times 7=42 so, 70/42

3. Simply, 70/42
By 14, you will get 5/3

4. Turn 5/3 into an improper fraction, 1 2/3

I hope this helps!!

Answer:

1 2/3

Explanation:

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

5 5/6 = (6*5+5)/6 = 35/6

Multiply the improper fraction by the fraction

5 5/6 * 2/7

35/6 * 2/7

70/42

Divide the top and bottom by 14

5/3

Changing back to a mixed number

3/3 +2/3

1 2/3
