multiply 6 by 2 1/7. Convert the product to be a mixed number.
To multiply 6 by 2 1/7, first convert 2 1/7 to an improper fraction.
To do this, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (7), then add the numerator (1):
2 * 7 + 1 = 15
So, 2 1/7 written as an improper fraction is 15/7.
Next, multiply 6 by 15/7:
6 * (15/7) = (6 * 15) / 7 = 90/7.
To convert the improper fraction 90/7 to a mixed number, divide the numerator (90) by the denominator (7):
90 ÷ 7 = 12 remainder 6.
Therefore, the mixed number is 12 6/7.
