How do you multiply mixed numbers and fractions?

Sagot :

First you need to convert the mixed numerals to improper fractions , for example 1 1/3 = 1/3 + 3/3 = 4/3.   Then you multiple across the numerators, the top number, and then the denominator, the bottom number.  Simplify the answer if necessary.

1 1/3 x 5/6
4/3 x 5/6 = 20/18 Divide numerator and denominator by 2
10/9  write as a mixed number 1 1/9
