immanuelv · Answer

you can tell she got the wrong answer because 
a) she didn't use a calculator
b) she didn't do her calculation right

immanuelv · Answer

Bonita should've multiplied $$\frac{5 }{ 6 } \times  \frac{ 5 }{ 3 } =  \frac{25}{18}$$

Well it's wrong simply cause it's wrong to be honest. If she had put them back to improper fractions, 5/6 times 5/4 is 25/18. 18 divided by 6 is 3, but 25 divided by 6 is obviously not 7.

1 2/3 = 1 4/6. 7/3 would equal 2 1/3 or 2 2/6. 5/6 times 5/3 would equal 25/18, which is 1 7/18 which not is equal to 21/18, which is equal to  7/3. sorry if its confusing
