Answer 9

OP, you do not want to pursue this one with Garza. It is ENTIRELY unreasonable to multiply two numbers that are around 3 and manage to get something around 44.

Answer 11

Ok so first you should change the mixed number fractions into improper fractions. In order to do that take the whole number, let's start with 3 2/5, and multiply he whole number by the denominator 3x5=15 the. Add the numerator 15+2=17 now you have 17/5
2 1/3 ----> 2x3=6, 6+2=8 so 8/3 would be your next improper fraction now let's go back and input them into the equation.

17/5 x 8/3 =
17x8 / 5x3 = 136/15 =9.06

Or

17/5 = 3.4 and 8/3=2.6
3.4x2.6=9.06

There are many ways to do this but I always go with tops (numerators) divided by bottoms (denominators)

Answer 12

Oops forgot to add that 9.06= 9 3/5
