Answer:
2(2)/(9)

Convert all Mixed Numbers into an Improper Fraction

Multiply 1×3 and get 3. Now add 3+1 and get 4.

1 1/3 = 4/3

Do Keep Change Flip (KCF)

Keep: 4/3

Change: ÷ into ×

Flip: 3/5 into 5/3

Multiply


(4)/(3)*(5)/(3)=(20)/(9)

Divide


(20)/(9)=2(2)/(9)

Q: How does 20/9 equal 2 2/9?

A: Divide 9 and 20 and get 2 r2 (r = remainder). The 2 becomes the mixed number. The remainder becomes the numerator. 9 becomes the denominator.
