Step-by-step explanation:

8 times 10 is 80

15 times 3 is 45

so 80/45 then make into mixed number

Answer 2

Answer:

$1\frac{7}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{15} *3 \frac{1}{3}$

Turn the second part into an improper fraction by multiplying the coefficient (the big 3) by the denominator of the fraction. You should get 3*3 = 9. Then add that number to the numerator of the fraction to get this:

$\frac{8}{15} * \frac{10}{3}$

Now, multiply directly across, so 8*10 over 15*3.

$\frac{8*10}{15*3}$ Now multiply out:  $\frac{80}{45}$

You can simplify this into $\frac{16}{9}$

Now, see how many times the denominator goes into the numerator evenly (1 time) and subtract that from the numerator to get $1\frac{7}{9}$
