2 1/3
To solve this problem, follow the order of operations:
4 x (2/3) = 8/3
Now, multiply 8/3 by 2 2/3:
(8/3) x (8/3) = (64/9)
Therefore, the answer is 64/9 or 7 1/9.
Bur it is 64/7 and 7 1/9 on the answers
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the problem correctly:
4 x (2/3) = 8/3
Now, multiply 8/3 by 2 and 2/3:
8/3 x 8/3 = 64/9
Therefore, the answer is 64/9, or in mixed number form, 7 1/9.
But there is only
2 2/3
6
1 1/3
2 1/3 on there answers.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the problem again correctly:
To multiply 4 by 2/3, we can rewrite 4 as 12/3:
12/3 x 2/3 = (12 x 2) / (3 x 3) = 24/9 = 8/3
Now, we need to multiply 8/3 by 2 2/3:
To multiply a whole number by a mixed number, we need to convert the whole number into a fraction.
2 = 6/3
Now we have:
8/3 x 6/3 = (8 x 6) / (3 x 3) = 48/9 = 16/3
Therefore, the correct answer is 16/3 or in mixed number form, 5 1/3.
