To multiply \(\frac{5}{6}\) by \(2\frac{3}{4}\), we first need to convert the mixed number \(2\frac{3}{4}\) into an improper fraction.

  1. Convert \(2\frac{3}{4}\):

    \[ 2\frac{3}{4} = 2 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \]

  2. Now, multiply \(\frac{5}{6}\) by \(\frac{11}{4}\):

    \[ \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{11}{4} = \frac{5 \times 11}{6 \times 4} = \frac{55}{24} \]

  3. Convert \(\frac{55}{24}\) to a mixed number:

    To do this, divide 55 by 24:

    \[ 55 \div 24 = 2 \quad \text{(remainder: } 7\text{)} \]

    So, \(55 = 2 \times 24 + 7\).

    Therefore,

    \[ \frac{55}{24} = 2 \frac{7}{24} \]

So, the final answer is:

\[ 2\frac{7}{24} \]
