Question

2 1/3 x 3 equals a whole number. How do you multiply and simplify it?

Answer 1

First convert the 2 1/3 to a improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by 3 then add the numerator. 2 • 3 = 6. + 1 = 7. Denominator stays the same. 7/3. 7/3 • 3. Since the denominator is 3 and it’s multiplied by 3 they cancel out because that’s the greatest common factor.

Answer 2

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation: First convert to a decimal. So 2 and 1/3 is 2.33.

Then multiply 2.33x3

We get 6.99.

Round up to 7 because we initially started with a fraction.
