2 2/3 x 1 1/3=

I came up with an answer when I tried like Ms. Sue said as 3 5/9

Would that be the correct answer 3 5/9?

8/3 * 4/3 = 32/9 = 27/9 + 5/9

= 3 + 5/9

= 3 5/9

So then are you saying I did come up with the correct answer of 3 5/9?

yes

Thank you for checking on this for me.

You are welcome

To find the product of mixed fractions, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert both mixed fractions into improper fractions.
- For the first fraction, 2 2/3, you can multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2) to get 8/3.
- For the second fraction, 1 1/3, you can multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1) to get 4/3.

2. Multiply the numerators together to find the new numerator of the product. Multiply the denominators together to find the new denominator.
- Multiplying 8/3 and 4/3 gives (8*4)/(3*3) = 32/9.

3. Simplify the resulting fraction, if necessary.
- The fraction 32/9 cannot be simplified further because there are no common factors between the numerator and denominator.

Therefore, the correct answer is indeed 32/9, which can also be written as a mixed fraction as 3 5/9. So, your answer of 3 5/9 is correct!
