Question

How do you multiply 6x 1 1/3?

Answer 1

To multiply a mixed number, first, we have to convert it into a fraction as follows:

$1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1\cdot3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$

Now, we need to multiply 6 by 4/3, as follows:

$6\cdot1\frac{1}{3}=6\cdot\frac{4}{3}=\frac{6\cdot4}{3}=\frac{24}{3}=8$
