Answer:


1 (1)/(4)

Explanation:


2 (3)/(7) * 5(5)/(6) / 11 (1)/(3)

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction


(17)/(7) * (35)/(6) / (34)/(3)

To divide by a fraction, multiply the reciprocal of that fraction


(17)/(7) * (35)/(6) * (3)/(34)

Reduce the number with the G.C.F 7


17 * (5)/(6) * (3)/(34)

Reduce the numbers with the G.C.F 17


(5)/(6) * (3)/(2)

Reduce the numbers with the G.C.F 3


(5)/(2) * (1)/(2)

Multiply the fraction


(5)/(4)

In mixed fraction:


1 (1)/(4)

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment...
