Can you solve this probem for me
1 1/2 X 2/3
1 1/2 is the same as 3/2 so 3/2 x 2/3 = 3/3 = 1 since the 2's cancel when you multiply.

Sure! To solve the problem 1 1/2 * 2/3, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 1/2 into an improper fraction.
To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator of the fraction (2), and then add the numerator (1). This gives us 3/2 as the improper fraction equivalent of 1 1/2.
Now that we have converted both numbers to fractions, we can multiply them. Multiply across the numerators (3*2 = 6) and the denominators (2*3 = 6). So, the product of 1 1/2 and 2/3 is 6/6.
Since the numerator and denominator of 6/6 are the same, the fraction is equal to 1. Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1.
