Answer 1

To multiply 1 2/3 by 6 1/2, we can first convert these mixed numbers into improper fractions.

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

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

Now, we can multiply these two fractions:

(5/3) * (13/2) = (5*13)/(3*2) = 65/6

The answer, 65/6, is already in fractional form. To convert it to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (65) by the denominator (6) and write the remainder as a fraction.

65 ÷ 6 = 10 remainder 5

So, the mixed number is 10 5/6.

The correct answer is 10 5/6.
