Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

to figure this out we need to convert the whole numbers into fractions with the same denominator as the fraction that is put with them

1 1/3 --> 3/3 + 1/3 = 4/3

1 1/2 --> 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2

then we can take those values and multiply accordingly

4/3 * 3/2 = 2

(NOTE: if the problem allows it, you can convert the fractions into decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator (3 / 2 = 1.50) but if it doesnt, then you can use this method in other problems)

hope this helps :)
