Answer 1

Change each mixed numeral into a fraction, and then multiply them together using the rule for multiplication of fractions.

$6 \dfrac{1}{3} \times 5 \dfrac{2}{8} =$

$= 6 \dfrac{1}{3} \times 5 \dfrac{1}{4}$

$= \dfrac{19}{3} \times \dfrac{21}{4}$

$= \dfrac{19 \times 21}{3 \times 4}$

$= \dfrac{19 \times 7 \times 3}{4 \times 3}$

$= \dfrac{19 \times 7}{4}$

$= \dfrac{133}{4}$

$= 33 \dfrac{1}{4}$
