Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions
1 [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
4 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex]
We now have
[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex]
There is no cancelling of factors, so multiply the values on the numerators and the values on the denominators
= [tex]\frac{5(17)}{3(4)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{85}{12}[/tex] = 7 [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
