1 answer

To multiply \(\frac{2}{3}\) by \(1 \frac{2}{9}\), we first convert the mixed number \(1 \frac{2}{9}\) into an improper fraction.

  1. Convert \(1 \frac{2}{9}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{2}{9} = 1 + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{9}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{11}{9} \]

  2. Now, multiply \(\frac{2}{3}\) by \(\frac{11}{9}\): \[ \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{11}{9} = \frac{2 \times 11}{3 \times 9} = \frac{22}{27} \]

So, the product is \(\frac{22}{27}\).

The correct response is \(\frac{22}{27}\).
