Question

what is three tenths times two and five sixths?

Answer 1

to multiply fraction do top x top and bottom x bottom 
so convert $2 \frac{5}{6}$ into $\frac{17}{6}$
then do $\frac{3}{10} * \frac{17}{6} = \frac{3*17}{10*6} = \frac{51}{60} = \frac{17}{20}$

Answer 2

17 over 20 or .85 because u change the 2 and 5 sixths to a improper fraction and the multiply.
