2 8

To solve this, the first step would be to make the reciprocal of 5 / 8 which is 8 / 5, then change the division sign to a multiplication sign.

3 8

/ x /

2 5

3 x 8 = 24

2 x 5 = 10

24 / 10 = 12 / 5 or 2 2/5

12 divided by 5 = 2.4

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$1\frac{2}{3} \times\frac{2}{3}$

In order to multiply the two, we have to convert the mixed number into a improper fraction and then multiply the numerator by the numerator, the denominator by the denominator.

$1\frac{2}{3} =3\times1=3+2=\frac{5}{3}$
$\frac{5}{3} \times\frac{2}{3}$
$5\times2=10$
$3\times3=9$
$=\frac{10}{9}$

<u>Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:</u>

$\frac{10}{9}$
$\frac{10}{9} =10\div9=1\frac{1}{9}$
$=1\frac{1}{9}$

Your answer is "1 1/9."

Hope this helps.
