Question

What is 1 7/8 Times 2 1\3

Answer 1

We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

1*8 = 8 
8+7 = 15

15/8 

2*3 = 6
6+1 = 7

7/3

Now we can finish and multiply

$\frac{15*7}{8*3}$

15*7 = 105
8*3 = 24

Simplify 105/24

105/24

24*4 = 96

105 - 96 = 9

4 is the whole number, and 9 is the numerator.

4  9/24

Simplify that,

9/3 = 3
24/3 = 8

4  3/8

Answer: $4\frac{3}{8}$

Answer 2

1 7/8* 2 1/3
= 15/8* 7/3
= 35/8
= 4 3/8

The final answer is 4 3/8~
