Multiply 1 2/3 by 6 1/2. Convert the answer to be a mixed number.(1 point)

Answer 1

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

1 2/3 can be written as an improper fraction as (3*1+2)/3 = 5/3
Similarly, 6 1/2 can be written as an improper fraction as (2*6+1)/2 = 13/2

Now, multiplying 5/3 by 13/2 we get:
(5/3) * (13/2) = (5*13) / (3*2) = 65/6

To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
65 ÷ 6 = 10 with a remainder of 5

Therefore, the answer is 10 5/6 as a mixed number.
