Answer:
3 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you convert to an improper fraction with the top part geing greater than the bottom, as follows:
1 1/2 = (1*2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2.
2 1/3 = (2*3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3.
When multiply these you just multiply the top parts and the bottom and, if necessary, simplify.
3/2 * 7/3 = 3*7 / 2*3
= 21/6 Now simplifying:
= 7/2
Now we can convert this improper fraction to standard form:
Dividing 7 by 2 gives 3 with remainder 1 so we have
7/2 = 3 1/2. (answer).
