Answer:

9 1/3

Explanation:

1. Make 4 2/3 into a improper fraction

4 2/3= 14/3

2. Keep, change, flip

14/3 x 2/1

3. Multiply

14/3 x 2/1= 28/3

4. Simplify

28/3= 9 1/3

(btw keep, change, flip basically means to keep the first fraction the way it is, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, then flip the second fraction so the original denominator is the new numerator, and vise versa.)
