Question

Describe or show two ways to find the following product: 1 1/3x 2.

Answer 1

1 and 1/3 time 2?  i thinks that's what you want?

or is it 1/3x squared?  

I;ll presume its 1 and 1/3 time 2

first way:

Multiple whole numbers first 1 x 2 = 2

Multiple fraction by the two  1/3 x 2 = 2/3

now add them together

2 and 2/3

second way

make 2 into a  a/b form = 2/1  

now 4/3 x 2/1 = 8/3 now make a mixed number  2 and 2/3

Answer 2
