• 5/6 x 2 1/2 = 2 1/12.

Answer 2

Answer:

2 and 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to take 2 1/2 and convert it to the common denominator of 6

so 1/2 * 3 = 3/6. and 2*6 = 12. add the 12 and 3 to get 15/6. which is equivalent to 2 1/2

so multiply 15/6 * 5/6 and get 75/36 to get or 2 and 3/36. reduce down to 2 and 1/12
