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

Answer 1

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

1 2/3 as an improper fraction is (3*1 + 2)/3 = 5/3.

6 1/2 as an improper fraction is (2*6 + 1)/2 = 13/2.

Now, multiply the two fractions: (5/3) * (13/2) = (5*13)/(3*2) = 65/6.

To convert the answer to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (65) by the denominator (6):

65 ÷ 6 = 10 remainder 5.

This means the quotient is 10, and the mixed number is 10 5/6.
