How you do multiplication as scaling like

2 1/2 x 3 2/3 is obviously more than 3 2/3

Use the link I posted to find the symbol for "more than".

Answered by Lety
Yes
Answered by Ms. Sue
2 1/2 = 5/2
3 2/3 = 11/3

(5/2) * (11/3) = 55/6 = 9 1/6

She is learning how to do fraction with mixes numbers using rounding,compatible numbers and compatible benchmark fraction like 31x 2/7
Or like 5 7/8 x 6 3/4=
So I want to learn how to do it so i can help her
Answered by Lety
So you multiply 2 1/2 like this
2x2=4
4+1= 5 So become 5/2
And 3 2/3 like this
3x3=9
9+2= 11 so become 11/3
