Answer 1

To multiply 1 2/3 by 6 1/2, first convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions:

1 2/3 = (3*1 + 2)/3 = 5/3
6 1/2 = (2*6 + 1)/2 = 13/2

Now multiply the improper fractions: (5/3) * (13/2) = (5*13)/(3*2) = 65/6

To convert the answer to a mixed number, divide the numerator (65) by the denominator (6) and find the whole number and the remainder.

65 divided by 6 is 10 with a remainder of 5.

So the answer is 10 5/6.
