<span>5 1/6 x 1/3 </span>first convert 5 1/6 (which is a mixed fraction) into an improper fraction ... => 6*5+1/6 = 31/6 =>now we have ... 31/6 * 1/3 => to multiply fractions we multiply the numerators ( top numbers ) with each other and the denominators (bottom numbers ) also the same way ... => 31/6 * 1/3 => 31*1 / 6*3 => 31/18 => then divide them to get answer as mixed fraction .. => 1 13/18 ..
<span>3 1/2 / 1 1/3 </span>=> here also first convert 3 1/2 and 1 1/3 into improper fractions .. => 3 1/2 => 2*3+1/2 => 7/2 => 1 1/3 => 3*1+1/3=> 4/3 => now divide them .. => 7/2/4/3 => for dividing fractions we take the reciprocal of one fraction and then multiply .. => 7/2 * 3/4 => now multiply these two fractions .. => 7*3/2*4 => 21/8 => answer as mixed fraction = 2 5/8 ...
