1 answer

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

First, let's convert the mixed number 1 3/7 into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (1) by the denominator (7) and add the numerator (3):
1 * 7 + 3 = 7 + 3 = 10

So, 1 3/7 can be written as the improper fraction 10/7.

Now, we can multiply the fractions:
(2/11) * (10/7) = (2 * 10) / (11 * 7) = 20/77

Therefore, 2/11 multiplied by 1 3/7 equals 20/77.
