To multiply the fraction \( \frac{2}{3} \) by the mixed number \( 1 \frac{2}{9} \), we first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.
-
Convert \( 1 \frac{2}{9} \) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{2}{9} = \frac{9 \times 1 + 2}{9} = \frac{9 + 2}{9} = \frac{11}{9} \]
-
Now, multiply the two fractions: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{11}{9} = \frac{2 \times 11}{3 \times 9} = \frac{22}{27} \]
So, \( \frac{2}{3} \times 1 \frac{2}{9} = \frac{22}{27} \).
