Answer:
the answer is
[tex] \frac{26}{15} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
⅘ of 2⅙ is basically the same thing as..
[tex] \frac{4}{5} \times 2 \frac{1}{6} [/tex]
to multiply the fractions first convert 2 ⅙ into a improper fraction.
multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the product to the numerator to get the NEW NUMERATOR
[tex]2 \times 6 = 12 \\ 12 + 1 = 13[/tex]
but you keep the denominator, so now 2⅙ is..
[tex] \frac{13}{6} [/tex]
Now simplify and then multiply.
4 × 13 = 2 × 13
5 × 6 5 × 3
[tex] \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{13}{3 } = \frac{26}{15} [/tex]
26/15 or 1 11/15
