What is 3 * 2 1/3? A. 7 B. 6 1/3 C. 6 D. 5 1/3 @PaulaLovesSchool13 @prettyboy931 @Joel_the_boss @Blu-Girl please help fan and medal

Is this the question? :) \[3 \times 2 \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @KamiBug that is the question

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Okay, great! :) First thing we want to do is change 2 1/3 to an improper fraction. Know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Cool, so what's the improper fraction? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 7/3

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Perfect. Now we will put the imaginary denominator of 1 that's under every whole number under the 3 and multiply these two fractions! :) Remember when multiplying or dividing fractions, we do NOT need to make the denominators the same; simply multiply straight across. :) |dw:1416404307647:dw|
