Question

by 1 1/4
. Write the answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply 2/3 by 1 1/4, we can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

1 1/4 = (4 * 1 + 1)/4 = 5/4

Now, we can multiply 2/3 by 5/4:

(2/3) * (5/4) = (2 * 5)/(3 * 4) = 10/12

To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

10/12 = (10/2) / (12/2) = 5/6

Therefore, the answer is 5/6.
