To multiply fractions, convert the mixed numbers into improper number.
2 2/3 becomes 2 *3+2/3 because the denominator 3 multiplied by the whole number 2 plus the numerator 2 is 8/3.
1 2/3 becomes 1*3+2/3 because the denominator 3 multiplied by the whole number 1 plus the numerator 2 is 5/3.
Multiply 8/3 by 5/3.
> 8/3 * 5/3
Multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.
> 8* 5/3*3
> 40/9 or 4 4/9
The product of 2 2/3 × 1 2/3 is 4 4/9.
