3 1/3 x 3/8 = 10/3 x 3/8 = 10/8 = 1 2/8 = 1 1/4

convert 3 1/3 into a fraction: 10/3*3/8 = (10*3)/(3*8) cancel the 3 10/8=5/4

3 1/3 = 3+1/3 = 9/3 + 1/3 = 10/3 ----------------------- 3 1/3 x 3/8 10/3 x 3/8 (10 x 3)/(3 x 8) 30/24 5/4 1 1/4 So the answer is 1 1/4

i like improper fractions best

myininaya (myininaya):

improper fractions are always easier to work with then mix fractions and also mix fractions look like multiplication(eventhough its not) 1 1/4 is really 1+1/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

true, but I figured I'd stick with mixed numbers since the first number was a mixed number
