How do I multiply this mixed fraction?
In order to solve, you need to make them improper fractions. You do this by multiplying the whole number by the denominator, then adding the the numerator. So for 6 and 1/3 you would multiply 1*3, which is 18, then add 1 to 18. You keep the denominator the same. You have 19/3. Do the same with 1 and 5/6. You get 11/6. Now just multiply top by top, bottom by bottom. You get 209/18. Now divide bottom into top. 209 divided by 18 is 11 and you have 11 left over, so you now you have 11 and 11/18.
