Question

$$

Answer 1

To multiply 2 1/3 by 2 1/5, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions first:

2 1/3 = 2 + 1/3 = (2*3 + 1)/3 = 7/3
2 1/5 = 2 + 1/5 = (2*5 + 1)/5 = 11/5

Now, multiply the fractions:

(7/3) * (11/5) = (7*11)/(3*5) = 77/15

To convert the improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

77 ÷ 15 = 5 with a remainder of 2

The mixed number is therefore 5 2/15.
