Question

Hi,

I need help understanding how to find the product:
(2 1/3)*(3 1/5)
Multiplication and division with mixed numbers and use the reciprocal to divide and then reduce.

Answer 1

(2 1/3)*(3 1/5)

First change them to mixed fractions.

2 1/3 = 7/3
3 1/5 = 16/5

7/3 * 16/5 = 112/15 = 7 7/15
