Hey there!

The easiest way I could think to do this is by converting your mixed number to an improper fraction and multiplying the fraction by 2, or 2 over 1.

$6 \frac{2}{3} = 6*3+2 = \frac{20}{3}$

$\frac{20}{3} * \frac{2}{1}$

To multiply fractions, you can just multiply the numerators and denominators and simplify, if applicable.

$\frac{20}{3} * \frac{2}{1} = \frac{40}{3}$

Since you can't simplify this fraction in its improper form, just convert it back into a mixed number.

$\frac{40}{3} = 13 \frac{1}{3}$

So, your answer will be $13 \frac{1}{3}$ .

Hope this helped you out! :-)

The income that you can save from each biweekly paycheck is
.. $1626 -6.2%*1626 -1.45%*1626 -85 -225 -775 = $416.61

After 14 pay periods, you will have saved
.. 14*$416.61 = $5832.54

This is more than your estimated trip requirement.

Check the picture below

now, <span>26°35' is just 26bdegrees and 35 minutes

your calculator most likely will have a button [ </span><span>° ' " ] to enter degrees and minutes and seconds

there are 60 minutes in 1 degree and 60 seconds in 1 minute

so.. you could also just convert the 35' to 35/60 degrees

so </span> $\bf 26^o35'\implies 26+\frac{35}{60}\implies \cfrac{1595}{60}\iff \cfrac{319}{12}
\\\\\\
tan(26^o35')\iff tan\left[ \left( \cfrac{391}{12} \right)^o \right]$

now, the angle is in degrees, thus, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode
