Answer 1

To multiply 2/3 by 1 1/4, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 1/4 into an improper fraction.

1 1/4 = (4/4) + (1/4) = 5/4

Now, we can multiply 2/3 by 5/4:

(2/3) * (5/4) = (2*5)/(3*4) = 10/12

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

10/12 = (10/2)/(12/2) = 5/6

Therefore, the answer in simplest form is 5/6.
