Answer:

88

Explanation:

2 2/3×8(4 7/8-3/4) =

(2 2/3)×8×(4 7/8 -6/8) = . . . . work inside parentheses first

(2 2/3)×8×(4 1/8) =

(8/3)×8×(4 1/8) = . . . . . . . multiply left-to-right

(64/3)×(33/8) =

(64×33)/(3×8) = 8×11 = 88

The product of fractions (a/b)(c/d) is (ac)/(bd). Common factors can be cancelled from numerator and denominator to reduce the result to lowest terms.
