Question

I need help with these two problems if someone can explain the steps thank you

Use a generic rectangle to find each product

Problem 1: 3 and 1/6 × 2 and 1/2

Problem 2: 1 and 1/3 × 1 and 1/6

Answer 1

problem1: 3+ 1/6;2 +1/2
rectangles are 6;1/3;3/2;1/12
product:6+1/3+3/2+1/12
6+4/12+18/12+1/12
6+23/12=7+11/12

Problem2: 1+1/3;1+1/6
rectangles 1x1;1x(1/3);1/6 x1;(1/6)x(1/3)
product: 1;1/3;1/6;1/18
now add them
